[QUOTE="MacHeadCase, post: 314541"] Welcome to Mac-Forums, jonweb! That would be on the CDs that originally came with the PowerBook. There should be somewhere on the OS Install disk Disk Utility. There might even be a [I]Hardware Test[/I]: I can't remember if the [I]Hardware Test[/I] was around back then. I would think so but am not positive. If you have both of them run Disk Utility first as this will repair the hard drive (if it is possible to fix it) and then, [I]Hardware Test[/I] is for checking all the other hardware components in the machine. So run it in [I]Extended Mode[/I]. You do know how to boot from a CD, right? Insert the CD and restart, holding down the [I]C[/I] key. Good luck with this! Report back to us what happened then. :girl: [/QUOTE]
