I have a ibook g4 laptop. And some power book g4
restore software disk's (1 and 2) also a Mac os X
A Mac OS 9 install disk.
All of them have (power Book G4) on them. Can i use them to fix the laptop i have ? The laptop has a folder with a ? mark in the middle of it, it just sits an blinks the Icon (file with {?} in middle) If i can
how do i do it? I'm good with windows, but so with mac. Please help !

You may be able use those disks to repair issues with you iBook but they may not be able install an OS. What version of OS X is on that disk? What version of OS 9 is on the other disk? Sometimes, Mac install disks are unique to the machine that they came with so you can only install that OS on the Mac it was intended to be installed on. For Example, if that OS X install DVD was a standalone OS X disc you can install that puppy on any Mac with a DVD drive, but if that OS X disc came from another Mac's Restore Discs it may not work. IT should work but there's no guarantee that it will. Good Luck
