I think there might be physical damage to your hard disk, or worse, to one of the components. I'd check that the motherboard and connectors are intact, and if they are, I'd consider replacing the hard disk.

The "old style" connectors? It should be regular IDE (unless that's what you meant).

Yep, IDE

Yes, any IDE should do. It's only the older SCSI drives and some of the earliest IDE drives in Performas that *should* be (but didn't need to be, if you had a hacked Drive Setup) Apple-ROMmed.

Yeah. When you said, "Old Style" I thought SCSI. But no, shooby's right, that's an IDE box. If you are running OSX on it, you shouldn't have to worry about how large the drive is, either.

You don't. Hold down the C key as you turn the Cube on and it will boot from CD.

Why are you using 10.2? I have a specific reason why I didn't upgrade (old-style EtherTalk networking doesn't work in 10.3 and up, and I have many old Macs; also, some old apps won't work in 10.3), but unless you fall into that category, 10.3 will be quite a bit faster on the Cube.
