MAC G4 PowerBook Hard Drive removal instructional video


I go through the process of switching out the hard drive in a MAC powerbook G4. Side note: If you get a error once you power it up that displays the mac folder sign and a question mark back and forth, it means that your system can’t see the new drive. When this has happened to me resetting the hard drives ribbon cable usually takes care of it. I have done this on my machine successfully several time if you have any question please feel free to hit me up. Once more thing I didn’t go over, you will need to have transfered all of you data from the old drive to the new one before you install it, unless you plan of doing a clean install of OS X
