[P1] iBook hard drive replacement

[Tom R. no spam]

I don't know, but based on your description, my own
suggestion would be first to quickly buy an external firewire
harddrive, install OS on it so you can boot from it,  and
backup everything on your present harddrive.

HTH.  Odd I myself have seen few complaints about IBM Travelstars,
& I've seen lots of good comments.
