Hi - I have an old iBook laptop that I'd like to give to a friend's daughter who is autistic. It only needs some basic programs, and the speed isn't a problem. So, I attached a firewire to it with my G4 and did a Disk Utility 7-pass erase of the old laptop,with the idea that i could then reinstall the old 10.2 software. Now I can't get it out of the questionmark stage.
I've tried to restart it holding down the C key with the 10.2 install disk, and no luck. Then I tried to load it using my G4 IBook and firewire. No luck. I know there's a trick that I'm missing. But it's been awhile since I did this... so... have i just ruined the laptop? Or is there a way to load the software?
sorry - I'm just techie enough to get myself in trouble. Not Techie enough to get out!
