No problem. I assume you did the FireWire Target Disk Mode on another machine?
if that's what you did, I guess I recalled correctly. I had to do something like that with an iBook G3 900 from a Pismo when my iBook G3's optical drive died within 3 weeks of getting the last one replaced (this is my infamous one that went in 14x before Apple replaced it with an iBook G4 (only bad thing to happen to that was that the Firewire port fell out of the side of the machine into my hands right after taking out freshly out of the box apple shipped it to me in. so that went in 1x. I ended up selling it when I got a macbook, which went in 4x, then was replaced, the 2nd went in 4x, apple replaced it with the first Alu MacBook (prior to pro) which went in 2x and I sold it and got a ThinkPad. Good ridence!)
