Good for her. That is a lovely little machine and worth some trouble
to get working. I am thrilled with my new(to me) G3 notebook. The next
2 machines I want are the machine your mother-in-law has and a G5 tower.
Since you have a new hard drive, try an experiment. Install Tiger on
hi,
as an option, ide disks have limit capacity jumppers on. you can try
to put a jumper on and then try if disk utility can format the drive
