Can anybody assist me please. I'm a Mac newbie and wanted to compare the OS with Mandrake Linux 9.1 PPC (I'm a bit more familiar with Linux); but I'm ready to go back to MAC but my MAC OS9 recovery CD no longer finds the HDD on my clamshell iBook, it and I'm unable to install.

Any tips on how to fix this? I tried to use Mandrake Linux to partition half the HDD back to Apple native but this didn't work. Is there some other free software out there I can use to reconfigure the HDD so the MAC Restore CD will find it?
