[QUOTE="tiga, post: 1013915, member: 146806"] Hello everyone. It looks like the hard drive on my G5 PowerPC with Isight is toast. From what I've been told it's extremely difficult to change out the hard drive on this model. Could I just connect an external hard drive with a firewire and boot from the set-up disks and install the operating system on the external hard drive? I could then just boot from the external drive. Does that make sense and what problems might I run into? Thank you. Tiga [/QUOTE]
