I recently added an external lacie firewire disk to my mac mini g4 and since then my mac seems to like to crash every few hours which is very annoying, the drive seems to ru quite warm so i have placed it away from the computer but that hasnt helped. Any clues on how to fix this from anyone are most welcome?
My computer is a basic 1.25Ghz G4 Mac mini with 512M of Ram and the hard drive is a lacie 250Gb firewire - it was the model that was designed to sit under the Mac Mini. I am currently booting Mac OS X.4.9 from the external drive.

Jordan, Sorry I didn't see the question earlier! and even more sorry that you got the answers that you did!
they both can be deleted as "not answers"!
sometimes the pros are busy , and just the chuckleheads answer!
I run 4 firewire disks connected to my g5... I feel for you!
Was it a bad chain of firewire disks? did you just re-arrange them?

Yeah, this Intel transition continues to be in that's infancy, even inspite of the actuality that the hardware transition is finished. Intel Macs will run PowerPC applications making use of an emulation layer called Rosetta. PowerPC applications will run particularly gradual below Rosetta, yet Intel (everyday) applications will scream on those structures. Intel structures can twin-boot with homestead windows XP. i'm particularly particular that the G4 is in undemanding words a 32-bit processor as are center Duos. center 2 Duo structures are sixty 4-bit. both structures can run Linux natively, yet why problem?

Funny, I thought Macs NEVER crashed.
I'll have to put this one in the diary!
