Then, assuming you have a regular FireWire cable, boot the one you want to install Tiger on in FireWire target disk mode. Press 'T' right after rebooting and hold "T" down until you see the the FireWire logo on the screen. Then, reboot your 900MHz, the one with the combo drive, and startup from the Tiger installation DVD. Connect your 700MHz to the 900MHz using the FireWire cable. When you get to the installer, the 700MHz hard disk should be there, with the FireWire icon on it. Proceed with the installation by selecting this drive. If possible, do a clean install or, at least, do an "Archive & Install". Once the installer has finished, reboot your 900MHz. Right after you hear the startup sound, unplug the FireWire cable from both iBook. Then, press the Power button on your 700MHz iBook. Once the iBook has shutdown, press the power key again and it should boot from your Tiger installation. -Laurent. -- ============================================================================ Laurent Daudelin AIM/iChat: LaurentDaudelin <http://nemesys.dyndns.org> Logiciels Nemesys Software mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Netscrape: n.
