I want to upgrade the hardrive in this mac. Ive got hardrives ranging from. 200MB to 40 Gigs that I can put in it. So can you tell me how big of a hardrive this PowerMacintosh 5250/100 can take and how to format it.

You can put up to a 128GB drive in this machine.

To format, boot from the OS disc by holding the C key down.
Then use Disk First Aid in the Utility folder to format.

Ok now I got the old harddrive working a jumper problem. But no matter what I do with the other harddrive they don't work.
