Yes, I put the HD in the iBook, but when I boot from the Tiger Install Disks, Disk Utility won't find the drive. Should I try formating the drive as the PPC format, then stick it in?

I have an iBook G3 Dual-USB and was wondering why my replacement HD won't work. The HD is a 80GB Toshiba MK8025GAS. I've tried the HD in my iBook twice now but it isn't recognized by Disk Utility. Would the fact that it is formated to boot a Intel Mac (aka GUID partition table) have anything...

You might want to do an "Archive and Install" because it will still do a clean install but will still keep the old System. If the "Archive and Install" fixes the problem, then you can get your old preferences (for Network and such) in the fresh install.

Try reinstalling Mac OS X with your install disks. All of your user data should be saved. Be careful not to tell it to wipe your HD.

Yes, you should obtain a copy of OS 9 because I believe the iMac needs a firmware update to run Tiger. If you have 10.3 or 10.2 you could try installing it and see if it will update the firmware.

It might be that something is wrong with your wireless router. Can you connect another computer to it?

What's wrong with Boot Camp?

Well, everyone sure liked this idea ::sleepy::

If you feel like paying $15, Awaken is the best. Check this out under alarms.

Try holding down the option key with the CD in the drive. Select the CD when it comes up and it should boot from it.

What you see on the Time Machine drive are a special kind of aliases. So if you delete the aliases the files will still remain. I don't have Leopard personally so I can't give you more advice than that.

You just need to boot up from you Install Disks and reinstall Mac OS X. None of your personal data will be lost.

Could you guys have some way so that we could easily view this forum on the iPhone/iPod Touch? There is this theme here that you could use if you wanted.

If you have let it sit for at least an hour you should try installing Mac OS X again. Do you have the retail install disks? Are they downloaded disks, gray disks, or the retail disks?

I was going to download 7.04 but I can't find the download anywhere! Edit: I had to go with downloading 6.10.

Yes, 7.10 looks good. For the first time in about 5 years my iBook meets the recommended requirements for the OS. Ubuntu 7.10 Recommended minimum requirements 500 MHz processor 256 MB of system memory (RAM) 8 GB of disk space My iBook 500 MHz processor 384MB RAM 10GB disk space

I want to put linux (preferably Ubuntu) on my iBook G3 Dual USB. By reading this article I would assume I should go with either Ubuntu or Kubuntu 5.04. What I would like to know is if I should use a later version of Ubuntu (7.10, 8.04, etc...) or should I use Hoary Hedgehog (5.04) like...

You could use Mighty Mouse. It does cost $10 though :rolleyes: That is a cool cursor. :D

What about iTunes'es volume setting? The control is right up by the top. If that doesn't work, can you open the music file in Quicktime? Navigate to HD Name/Users/User Name/Music/iTunes Music/ Hope it helps

It would probably be best if you used Boot Camp to install Linux, etc, on your Mac. I don't have much experience with Intel Macs, but I would think Boot Camp would be your best bet.
