reformat problems

[the ripper18]

I just reformatted my hard drive, and GarageBand is MISSING!!!!!!

HOW DO I REINSTALL IT WITHOUT DELETING ANYTHING ON MY COMPUTER????

Any advice would be appreciated.

Also, ever since I first got my computer, OS9 has not worked on it. Any suggestions?

Stats:
iBook G4
256 MB RAM
1.07 GHz PowerPC processor

Is Garageband the only app that's missing? Do you have the iLife discs? If not, then it may be on your restore discs although your machine may be a little old. You could use Pacifist to try and find it on the restore discs.

As for OS9, are you talking about Classic?

Yes I do mean classic.

Well did you reinstall the OS from the restore discs or from retail copies of OSX?

Restore discs. Also that pacifist thingy isn't working.

Two things:

• Are you sure you didn't uncheck it during the install procedure?
• Did your machine originally come with Garageband or did you have to install it later?
• How is Pacifist not working.
• I clearly cannot count.
