Hi there,
I've got an ibook (blue and white) with g3 processor and enough memory to install Panther, but my problem is that the laptop doesn't recognize as start up disk any external CD drive (its internal one doesn't work, unlikely). I tried with the Iomega external CD burner I've got, tried with a g4 connected to the laptop via ethernet and tried to use as start up disk the internal drive of the g4, but nothing worked. I tried both, pressing C to direct the start up from the cd, and tried with Option, at start up, to see if any external device was recognized, but nothing at all, apart from the system 9.2.2 already installed on the laptop came up to be launched. Is it possible that the only way to install OSX.3 is via the CD drive internal, which don't work?
Thank you in advance
Lara
