if you follow the instructions included with the firmware, nothing will go wrong. i've flashed a bunch of drives numerous times and never had a problem.

Okay,
This is for all you guru's out there:
I just bought a toshiba 2.5" 9.5mm 12.1GB Hard Drive. Brand new.

It sounds like the new hard drive is either set the same way as the CD drive (both Master, or both Slave), or more likely that the new HD is set to Single.
Check the 12GB HD docum…

Reader50's probably hit the nail on the head there (my 12gig Toshiba worked first time), but also do a PRAM reset as some drive info is stored in the PRAM.
BTW. How long did it ta…

I still don't know how to reset the PRAM (I can't use mac help as I cannot boot my machine properly). Could someone please tell me how to do this?

When you start up, hold down option, the command key (open apple) the p key and the r key. That should do it.

Don't worry about what the CD is set to. If setting the Toshiba HD to Master does not do it, set the Toshiba to Slave and try again.
When I added my new faster HD (to a G4, not an…

I tried zapping the pram, that didn't work.
I don't have any jumpers for the drive, so I cannot set it to slave.
I am still having the exact same problem. I can only boot from C…

I am not clear on this... Do you mean you could not find a place on the drive with pins for setting j…

I meant that I don't have any jumpers.
I don't know that setting the drive to slave would do anything though. The 3.2GB drive wasn't set to slave and it worked just fine before I …

Twice in the lifetime of my iBook the dreaded Flashing system folder icon has come up for no apparent reason.
Both times, by booting from CD and running Disk First Aid I was able …

The best idea I have left would be to plug both drives into a PowerMac and take a look at them. This would also be a good time to transfer data across.

Thank you all for the suggestions.

The button in question is the famous CUDA button. It provides a master reset, including zapping pram. I don't know where this button is on an iBook.
