Hi, I'm writting to this list since I can't find any useful answer anywhere else. If you anyone has ever replaced a Mac hard drive, I would use some advice.
I own a G3 iBook (dual USB, 750 MHz) and the hard drive died a few days ago. It started doing clicking sounds, then The computer wouldn't boot. The first time I tried to boot, I got a smiling mac icon, the second time just a white screen. So I just bought a new drive and replaced the old one, but my computer won't boot, just the white screen. Correct me if I am wrong, but from what I understand about the system, apple computers don't have a bios but open firmware which is installed on the hard drive. So I guess that to get it fixed I would need one way or another to install open firmware on my new drive. How am I supposed to do this ? thanks for any advice/pointers you could give me Marc
