If CCC doesn't work for you, perhaps Super Duper will. . . Just a thought. If you've never taken a Clamshell apart before, I would tell you it's somewhat tedious, but really not that hard. You need some small screwdrivers (Phillips, flat-head, Torx T8), and good instructions. Go to: http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Repair/Installing-iBook-G3-Clamshell-Hard-Drive-Replacement/116/1 . This will take you step by step. I printed up the instructions and taped the screws to the applicable section of each sheet. It'll take you about 45 - 60 minutes to get the thing apart (less after you know what you're doing. . .). It's not hard, just a bit of a pain in the patoot. I've done enough of these to where I no longer dread opening them up any more, and you would be surprised how well these laptops perform with Tiger and a 512 meg ram stick in them.
