I recently just replaced the hard drive in my iBook G3 because the last hard drive died. I didn't get a chance to save any of the information that was on the original hard drive, except for what I had on my desktop PC. Sadly enough I don't know enough about Mac's to get by.
The hard drive I used as the replacement was purchased from an Apple dealer, so with all worries tossed aside I installed the new hard drive. Here's where things get a little tricky. I've spent the last week trying to figure out what I need to do to put the Mac OS on the new hard drive, but I can't seem to figure out what I'm doing wrong. When I purchased this laptop I received only 3 discs with it, and those were the restore discs. I've been asking around and everyone tells me that I should be able to use the discs I have to set up the hard drive, but I'm having trouble doing so.
What am I not doing right or doing wrong?
