"Remove the hard drive from the iMac (or have a 
technician or knowledgeable
amateur tech do it for you).

Install the iMac hard drive in the G4 and 
configure it as the "SLAVE" device
on the connection ribbon that is plugged into your 
G4 hard drive. This
configuration is done by installing a small jumper 
bridge to the IDE
identification pins on the hard drive. Some drives 
have a printed legend on
the case that shows exactly which set of pins to 
put the jumper bridge on to
make the drive into the SLAVE, MASTER, or CABLE 
SELECT modes. Be sure to
identify the G4 hard drive as the MASTER or you 
will have troubles here."


Would she be able to use Target disk Mode to 
connect to the G4 via Firewire? Save alot of 
poking inside the box.
