Hello there. I came across an old ibook G3. It was running os 9 but it was not working too well so I installed os x 1.4 from the os x discs that came with my mac mini. Everything was working great for a while until it crashed. I have tried to re-install os x but it will not recognise the hard drive. To make matters worse, the os 9 discs that came with the ibook will not boot. I tried booting from a linux disc and I successfully installed debian linux but I would really like to re-install os x if possible.
Is there any sort of boot disc available that will allow me to partition and format the hdd so that os x will recognise it? When I boot from the os x disc it will crash if I open the disk utility program.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
