I suppose you could take the GUID drive and put it into another machine that reads it. Repartition it as APM and then connect it to the ibook through firewire enclosure or target disk mode from the machine its in and see if the ibook reads the drive.

I don't have a computer to put it in though. I think i can live without an 80GB HD in the iBook, but it would be nice.

I'm surprised that it's still in one piece after you took it apart that many times. I put a 60 gig in when the old 40 died and it was never the same after that.

Well my sleep light attachment broke and my front has nicks from the flat-head screwdriver, but it isn't that bad (my sleep light still works ).

I found this topic discussing basically the same problem. Do you think that if I put in the new drive, then reset the computer it will work? I'm thinking about trying it if there is a good chance it will work (besides I have nothing better to do tonight ).

Thats why we who do this for a living use these. There would be alot of ticked off people getting their ibook back all marred up.
