If you cannot start the Cube, then this procedure will not work, because both computers need to be successfully started. Instead, you must remove the hard drive from the Cube and either connect it as a second drive on the G4 (pretty easy - just 2 connectors), or install it into a Firewire enclosure, and connect that to the G4 using a Firewire cable which you buy at a computer store (harder to do, and more $$ involved because you must buy the enclosure and the cable).
