Hi All,
I've been given an old G3 PowerBook. The PowerBook itself has had very little use, but before the previous owner got rid of it they cleared everything off it (including, I think, the operating system).
I have the 8.5 OS system CD and can boot it up from the CD, but there is no destination drive for the OS to be loaded onto. There is definately a hard disk (4G) installed, but the machine cannot see it.
I'm not a complete techno monkey but I'm more used to OS X and am struggling to figure out what's going on. I've tried using the disk utility on the installation CD but it can't see the drive either.
Any ideas, hints or tips?
Thanks,
J
