I followed all of the advice I could find and purchased a new 100GB Hitachi travelstar ATA/IDE drive to install into my three-year-old ibook. Its a G3 800mhz currently on a 30GB drive.
I installed the drive myself, and when I tried to boot to the OS X 10.3 disk, the optical drive spins up, and the Grey apple comes up... but after about 20 seconds, the optical drive stops spinning, and the apple turns into a circle with a slash (international "no" symbol)... what is this about? bad drive? is a 100GB too big for an ibook?
its not the CD... I tried another disk (10.2) and that didn't work either... and now with the 30gig drive back in here, it boots up to the CD fine.
I replaced the 100gig drive with the old 30, and now its working fine... but I really want that new drive in here... any suggestions? ***!?
