[P1] I'm in trouble now...

[Joe Jones]

Do you have your instal CDs? If so, just pop it in the drive and hold 
the C key then install your OS on the new drive - it will need to be 
formatted first.

If you want to boot off the firewire drive you can hold option down at 
boot and select it, although since there's no OS on the internal drive 
the tibook should hunt around on all connected drives and boot from it 
anyway.
