Hey Mark,

My iBook G4 has a 60 gig HD in it.

I've seen the posts on installing a new HD in it.  You gotta take EVERYTHING apart!!

There must be "seventy-eleven" screws to keep up with.  It doesn't seem hard, tho, but tedious, like some 14 or so steps in the disassembly.  If I ever do this, I'm gonna get a bunch of small styrofoam cups, cut them in half, and number and label each as to its position in the disassembly.

If I were you, I'd get a set of GOOD jeweler's screwdrivers.  When I replaced the keyboard on my Intel MacBook 13.3", I tried using the "cheapies" and then the German-made set I bought on eBay.  Not relatively cheap, but they really work nicely.

The former are in a trash bin somewhere!!!

Good luck and let us know how the replacement went.

Best wishes,

Perry

Hi Perry,

I have a 250 GB HD replacement for what was only 30 GB to start with  

on mine in the mail. The installation of it requires dismantling the  

case to get to the other side where the HD is. My brother who works in  

IT (PC granted!) says in a blase fashion it`ll only take me an hour or  

so to do! (I`m going to clone the present drive also as I`m unsure I  

have another edition of Leopard on my family pack) I think this might  

be a bit optimistic!!

Mark.
