Project 17: Re-imaging an iBook

Project Description: Re-image an iBook

Cause of Project: iBook would get a kernel panic on startup

Difficulty: Easy (concept)

Length of Project: 2 lunch times

What I did: I attempted to re-image the iBook like I did with the eMacs. However, unlike the eMacs, the  iBook was not plugged into a power source, so half way through the re-image, the iBook shutdown. After that, the iBook could only start once every day. I was able to put in the Mac OS X Install Disc, but it would not recognize it. Then, I was not able to force eject it by holding the mouse button on start up, I open up Open Firmware, and ejected the CD.

Challenges: Getting into Open Firmware

Status: Cancelled
