hdd swap between ibook w10.4 to a ibook w 0.5

[Mandomex]

Hi all, Ive seen post people asking w imac or powermac.
But I have a 800mhz g4 12in ibook w an 250G HDD running 10.5, i recently recived a 14in G4 Ibook 1.42ghz w a 60 G hdd w 10.4.

Question is can I swap them out so the 14in has the larger hdd w 10.5 installed and the smaller has the 60G w 10.4 with out having to format or reinstall osx.
Will the machines recognize the hdd's w osx and not create harware conflicts.

Thanks, just trying to keep the nicer g4 running a bit longer on the cheap.

Yes, that will work i did the same thing i put a emac HD in a Powermac g3 (B&W) and it booted just fine. it sell work fine especially being the HD was in another ibook. just put in your HD and turn your ibook on it does not matter what Version of OS X it has as long as it is 10.5.8 or below being your ibook is ppc
