iBook Format and installation of Panther
I have an iBook G3 800mHz with OS 10.28. It is three years old and is starting to act slow and a few other oddities. I have rebuilt permissions and run DiskWarrior but still it seems slow and quirky. Somewhere in the long ago, I recall some “expert” stating that every 2 or 3 years, one should backup the hard drive and then reformat it. I am going to install panther on the iBook and am wondering if I should reformat the drive before I do this. Also, will I be able to use the same administrator’s password, etc? In short, is it more trouble than it is worth to reformat the drive? TIA -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Can't save attachments
I have an iBook G3 with full RAM and OS 10.2.8 I use Mail as my email program. In the past I could save pictures sent to me as attachments but recently I can't. When I drop down the file menu, the Save As Draft, Save Attachments, and Open as New Message choices are present but dimmed so I can't perform any of those functions. I have rebuilt Permissions, run Tech Tool Pro and Disk Warrior to no avail. Any suggestions? TIA Lowell -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Erasing hard drive with two partitions
I have an iBook 800 with OS 10.2 on it. I have an external firewire drive which I originally formatted with two partitions. I would like to reformat the external drive to one partition only. How do I do that? TIA Lowell -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...
