Format ibook HD?

[bigorangekitty]

i just replaced the HD in an ibook G3, trying to format and put Leopard on it. anything i need to know? I hold down "C" for the Leopard disk, and a blue screen comes on then it goes black.

anyone?

please?

You cannot run Leopard on a G3. Use the original discs or Tiger or Panther.

she didn't give me any back ups or panther or tiger... she gave me Leopard and an "Apple Care" disk


if i get panther or tiger, will it recognize the new drive? is this the problem?

 

[bigorangekitty]

i managed to call a friend who will sell me tiger... will it recognize new hard drive?

Yes. It should be no problem. Just start from the DVD and after selecting the language, use the menus to access Disk Utility to format the Disk as MacOS Extended (Journaled).
