Hi everyone I'm new here so please help me out! I have a PowerBook G4 12" 1.33/768 with Tiger on it, but I've got a old HD that's only 60GB and I'd like to install a new one. I've gathered information on how to Install the Hard drive, but I dunno how to Install Tiger in it (the New HD). WIll I be able to just pop in the Tiger DVD and it'll install just like it PCs? Or I have to bring it in a store to do that (My warranty's long gone!!!). What do you guys think? I need some suggestion from you experts!
