I have an old iBook running 10.3.9 and I want to wipe/erase the disk and get rid of it. Problem is Disk Utility doesn't allow me to erase, it has everything grayed out. And I don't have the original startup CD. Any ideas?

Need to wipe 10.3.9 iBook with no OSX cd and disk utility not allowing me to do it.

You need to use an alternate system; this can be a Mac OS X install disk or a system on an external drive. If needed, buy one from a source such as Amazon or eBay, or phone Apple and ask if they have replacement original disks in stock.
