BTW, what is a "Snakebite"? :-o Never heard such model.... > But the iBook doesn¹t see the DVD or the boot drive in the G4, it sees > only the second HD in there, the original one with OS 9 installed. Not seeing the first HD is odd. Is is connected in unusual ways? (PCi card, SCSI...) Is it bigger than 128GB? > If this isn¹t possible, I plan to Carbon-copy the DVD onto an external > HD with a Firewire port, then do the install with that HD connected to > the iBook. I hope that¹ll work at least... I think going "external" is the only way for installing. Either the external HD, or an external DVD player... Another option would be cloning an OSX disk/partition (using CCC) onto the iBook HD in Target mode. I copied my PM G4 OSX partition onto a PowerBook G4 and a PM G5, and it has always worked. Might not be the best way, but it usually works... ;-) -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
