how do I start up my powerbook G4, after installing a new hard drive?
February 13th, 2010 | by admin |when I turn it on all it does is show a question mark in the middle of the screen… it ran fine when I took out the old one… the one I put in is brand new, and it is the proper one for my powerbook G4… I need some help… what should I do ?
You should install the proper Mac Operating System on the drive.
That is a blank drive. There is no operating system on it. There was one installed on the old drive… that was why it worked like you are expecting.
So, either find the Operating System discs that came with the computer, or contact Apple and order new ones.
end of line
