I have installed a new hard drive into my iBook but the system doesn't see it.
I have a 12" G4 iBook which had a 60gb drive that had begun to die. I purchased a new 160gb drive. I went through the agonizing process of replacing it.
When I booted to the install CD, the volume was not listed as an install option, nor did it show up under Disk Utility.
I took appart the laptop again, checked both ends of the cable, left it in pieces (just enough connected to boot) and again booted to the install disk. Same thing, no hard drive.
iBook G4 (Raphael), Mac OS X (10.4.11)
