Hi all,

Well the hard drive on my iMac G5 (Rev. decided to pack it in the other day. No amount of using Disk Utility or Disk Warrior could sort out its problems. :mad: Luckily on the Rev. B it's a swappable part!

I was wondering if anybody could advise as to what replacement (and compatible) hard drive to get? Also, any pointers as to where to purchase it would be very welcome.

Many thanks in advance
