[QUOTE="kirkhings, post: 13201"] [b]want to boost my original tang.ibook with external HD and oxPanther[/b] heyhey i really love my original tangerine ibook with OS 9.2, had it for years now just one addition I'd like to make: I have a free copy of OS X.3 panther for teachers, and I'd really like to use it for the iMovie software mostly. However, my ibook's HD is only 3gb, and i want to keep OS 9.2 on it with the graphics software I have installed. So I fingured I'll just get an external HD say 50-100gb and install OS X on that, then boot my ibook off that HD and move completed movies thru ethernet or USB to my XP where my cd/dvd burner is. Ahh, utopia... Except I have no idea: 1- how to 'dual-boot' (i think the term is) so I can selectively boot off the main HD or the xternal 2- what's a recommended external HD model and supplier? 3- has anyone done this before? any hiccups to watch for? 4- how to connect my ibook via USB or Ethernet (preferred) to my XP without a router? or possibly recommend a router? 5- Advice on home networking my ibook with my XP? thanks for any and all advice...
