[P1] Book rises from the dead

[Joe Roberts]

If you haven't tried it yet, I would boot from the Mac OS X install 
disk 1, open up Disk Utility, and do a low-level format/erase (clicking 
on the options button and zeroing all data) of the iBook HD.  Then try 
re-installing OS X.  If that doesn't work, sounds like you have a 
hardware problem.  The good thing is that you can probably find a cheap 
HD on eBay or somewhere similar.  It's not exactly a resurrection, but 
maybe you would settle for a Frankenstein scenario...  :)
