Hi,
I have a Powerbook G4 with an empty HDD.
I've been attempting to install a fresh copy of tiger, but the it will not boot from the CD drive. While holding down option at boot it brings up nothing.
Now, I know the drive works to some degree as it was able to explore and run the install CD while in OS X.
The install CD is 10.2, though I don't think that would affect anything.
My question: is the drive broken has anyone seen/repaired this before? If unrepairable what alternatives are there for installing a new system?
Thanks in advance,
Deafstep
