Here's the objective:
I'm planning on selling my PowerPC G4. For security purposes I want to Erase Free Space on my G4 (dual processor 450MHz running OS 10.3.9) through DiskUtility. This version of the OS doesn't support that function. In my research I should be able to do it from my iMac (2.93GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, OS 10.6.8) via Firewire 800 cable to my G4 in Target Disk Mode.
The problem:
I have no problem opening my G4 in Target Disk Mode. But my iMac won't recognize it. I'm sure if I can just get the G4 on my iMac screen I should be able to complete the job.
Any suggestions? Thank you for your help.
