Hi everyone. Been reading this forum for years. So I have a old, lovable G4 12" Powerbook that I think has a dead HD. Ok, no issue right? A 2008 iMac I found in the trash runs off an external HD. So why not my old Powerbook G4?

It ran OSX TIger last I had it working. 2 years ago, I think.

What steps do I need to take? How do I install Tiger onto an external HD?

Specs I think, I remember are 867 MHZ, 667(?) Ram. Screen, trackpad, power supply, and keyboard all fine.

Thanks guys.
