you know about firewire disk mode, and target disk mode, right?Lasha said:Whoah...you can actually connect your Mac, rather it be a Notebook or Desktop to another Mac, and use the Disk Utility from that other Mac to format the hard drive of the other Mac? That's pretty amazing...
Also, I hope everything works out well for you since you couldn't get what you needed to work. Maybe the type of hard drive you got is just not completely compatible with all Notebooks, with the iBook being one of them.
I explained it a few times in fact, heres a quick run through.Macman said:I actually explain it in great depth in a thread somewhere on this forum, now to find it.

get a 2.5" HDD enclosure...
put your new HDD in the enclosure...
then go on from there...
that way...you can have an external HDD for storage or backups...
