  If you have another Macintosh with a firewire port you can plug them into each other with a 6 Pin to 6 Pin FireWire cable. Start up the iBook holding down T and a FireWire icon will begin moving on the screen. Soon thereafter the iBooks drive will appear in the other  Macs desktop as a standard FireWire drive that you can install OS X onto using the other mac.

    I need to re- install os x 10.4. the hard drive is 10 gig and is empty right now. i had it installed previously.  I hear maybe i can use a firewire ...etc.  Any good explicit instructions out there.  

    I have also heard that it cannot be done.. with my ibook model.  HELP!!!!!!!

    thanks so much
