What OS did you install? Did you use a retail OS installer or the Install/Restore disc that came with the PowerBook? You can't use an installer from another model Mac.
The max OS for a PowerBook is 10.5.x.

Jan 26, 2012 6:56 AM in response to Texas Mac Manby Ben Rowley,Thanks for the 10.5 cap info. I put 10.6 on it. But, when I installed 10.6 I could boot from the disc and use the utilities on the disc, and I was able to install it. After the install, I can't see the disc when doing an "option" start, I can only see the internal HD. The 10.5 limit explains the icon, but not the lack of choices when doing an option start. What about not being able to verify or repair permissions on the PB in target disc mode?
