Im very new to Mac but ok around PC's. My son persuaded me to buy an IMAc and we've been happy, so trying to learn!
My son has a Powerbook 15 inch 1.5. He tried to start it and it came up with a question mark and Piccaso folder.
I borrowed another G4 and looked at the harddrive, using Firewire and copied the other drive. It found the volume, erased and copied. I then checked it on the host computer and it came up as a readable drive.
Tried restarting with no success......any ideas
*When I copy the drive with firewire, does it copy over the OS as well as the file structure? I'm I better off wiping the drive and trying to insert the orginal disks?
When I tried it, it looked at the disk for 5 seconds and then spat it back out!*
