How to access to hard drive once removed from iBook?
crwdns2934249:0crwdne2934249:0:
Hi, my logic board is broken and I want at least to recover the data in the hard drive.
I can easily follow ifixit instructions to take it off the iBook g4.
Once I do that I have the hard drive in my hands.
At this point I want to access to the 2.5" hard drive... with what?
Do I use a hard drive dock?
Does it have to be firewire or can it be usb?
Can I have access to my iBook g4 hard disk through a pc or do I have to use another mac?
Also, this hard disk I am removing has Tiger 10.4 installed, and I still have the original disk. I want to erase the hard disk so to use the Tiger OS again on another machine (the copy of Tiger I have can be used only on one machine at a time), how can I do that? will a formatting be enought?
Thank you!
