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
