Hi! I have a bit of a conundrum: I have an old (~2004) PB 15' which won't start up. It hangs indefinitely on the gray screen with an apple and rotating gear. However, I can't boot from disk because the CD-ROM drive is broken!
I also have a more recent blackbook. I was hoping to do the following: start up my blackbook in target disk mode, and boot up my powerbook using the blackbook as bootdisk.
Question: will this work, and more importantly, will it somehow wipe my blackbook's hard drive?
Thanks! Also, if anyone wants to try to diagnose my powerbook, suggestions welcome! Last question: how does one go about settiing up a harddrive to boot off of? This is my other option. Strangely, I can't seem to find any websites about it.
