Hello,

I've picked up a used G4 ibook w/o a hard drive, a new SATA drive and an O.S. Acknowledging that the MB may be bad or any number of problems, how do I prepare the drive? Do I need to do any special partitioning? What other software will I need to get this ibook closer to the way "it was born"?

Thank you--

Hello sir

If you want to partition your hard drive:

In the Applications folder, open Utilities, and then double-click Disk Utility.

In the left column, click the drive you would like to initialize or partition.

To the right, click the Partition tab.

The box beneath "Volume Scheme:" (which should be set to Current) represents your hard disk, where occupied space is shaded. With the handle at the bottom-right of each partition, you can resize the partition by dragging the handle up or down. To add or remove partitions, click the + (plus sign) or - (minus sign) beneath the box. You can assign each partition its own name and file system type.

When you're finished making changes, click Apply.
