Possible to Get Copy of Video from OWC?

I just bought a Mac G4 (QuickSilver 2002), with only one hard drive, on ebay. I bought another hard drive from Other World Computing. Is it possible to download a copy of the OWC how-to-video to my existing Mac? If so, how do I do it? I want to copy the how-to-video to a ZIP disk so that I can play it on my very old Mac computer (that can't get on the internet), and play it there, while I'm working on the ebay Mac G4.

Power Mac G4 (QuickSilver 2002) Dual, Mac OS X (10.4.11), I also use MacOS 9.2.2

Take a look at this instruction guide at this link,http://www.ifixit.com/Device/Power_Mac then save it as a PDF and move it to your old computer to view it.

If I am not mistaken, you will receive an installation booklet from OWC with your HDD. This may eliminate the need for any video.

Ciao.

Thank you very much, Eric Ross!! The instructions show a Hard Drive replacement....missing are instructions on how to "add" another Hard Drive, for a total of two HDs.

OGELTHORPE, the package came with the Hard Drive, but no "installation booklet." I guess I just watch the OWC instruction video until I learn it by heart. Thank you for your advice!

Thank you, Eric Ross and OGELTHORPE, for your assistance. I came up with a solution that worked quite well.

I ran the video on OWC and stopped the video and make screen shots of all the pertinent steps. Then I printed them.
