Is it easy to install a new DVD drive in my Powerbook?

I recently posted a question about installing a new fan into my Powerbook G4. Someone put up a link to a photo-page of instructions that scared me right out of doing it myself. Big project.
Now my internal CD/DVD drive is shot. Is it easy to install a new one myself? Just a few screws and a yank and I can plug in a new one? Or is it not as easy as that?
Would you recommend a techno-greenie try something like this himself? I'm not afraid of opening the case, but I don't know anything else about computer guts and I don't want to risk damaging anything else in there.
Thank you in advance for anyone who might be able to help me.
If anyone knows of photo instructions online, that would be a super-help.

Here's a pretty good description of the steps with pictures: http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Mac/PowerBook-G4-Al-17-Inch/SuperDrive/55/8/Page-1 . You didn't say which model you have, these are the instructions for all but the very last 1.67Ghz Hi-rez 17" PowerBook.

  • How do I install Tiger without DVD drive?

    How do I install Tiger without DVD drive on a Powerbook?
    My Powerbook had some problems recently, the HDD and the Superdrive where gone. I replaced the HD but can not get Tiger installed here because the DVD drive isn't working. I boot right now from a FW HD. Any Ideas how to install the OS on the internal drive?
    Any ideas would be apreciated.

    I just tried it between a Power Mac G5 and a PowerBook G3 (Pismo) and it worked. The G5 was Mac in Firewire Target Disk Mode. I started the G5 with the T with no DVD in the drive. I started up the G3, and the G5's hard drive appeared on the G3's desktop. I pushed the eject key (on the G5 keyboard) and the SuperDrive opened. I put in a DVD (the Tiger installation disk) and closed the SuperDrive. The DVD appeared on the G3's desktop. I restarted the G3 with the Option key held down, and the DVD in the G5 appeared as a valid startup choice."

  • I installed a new hard drive in my MacBook. Is there a way to download os 10.6 from internet to DVD for install?

    I installed a new hard drive in my MacBook. Is there a way to download os 10.6 from internet to DVD for install?

    Hi C.Mathew Mulligan,
         If you would like you can your boot your computer into recovery mode using Command+R There you can select re-download it from the internet. You will not have any of your old data on your new computer, but that is because you replaced your hard drive. So if you would like your old data to be there on your new computer I would recommend to back up your old hard drive to Time machine then Boot it into recovery using Command+R and click on restore with Time machine. Once that has completed successfully you not only should have 10.6 But you will also have all of your data from your old computer.

  • Installed new DVD drive, now iBook will not charge

    Hi guys,
    I'm a long-time Mac user, and this is the first time I've had any problems so I'm new to this board. I had a bit of a look around, both on this forum and the FAQs, and this appears to be a unique problem.
    Basically, for a while my iBook CD drive was spitting out CDs, as per a common problem which I was not able to resolve. Eventually the tray broke and it would not click back into place, and so I was left with an iBook with a CD tray constantly popped out.
    I ordered a new DVD drive/burner that claimed it would fit an iBook, and when it arrived I pulled apart my laptop and installed it. Everything appeared to be in order, until I tried to plug in the AC adaptor.
    The orange light goes on for about 10-15 seconds, then slowly fades away to nothing. If I unplug and plug it back in straight away, I get no light and no charge. If I wait 15 minutes, the orange light goes back on but once again fades after a short period of time.
    My first thought is that perhaps the DVD drive is incompatible/drawing too much power, but I can't figure out how this would affect the charger, and why the problem would persist whether the power is on or off.
    Has anyone encountered a problem like this? I don't hold much hope that this will be fixed without expensive surgery, but I'd like to try
    iBook G3, PowerPC G5, iPod   Mac OS X (10.3.9)  

    Hi Ronda, thanks for the response. I've pulled it apart a couple of times and have put it back together via the instructions I downloaded on the internet both times, and have had the same problem. To be honest, I can't answer that! I'll have to pull it apart this afternoon again to check.

  • How do i install a new hard drive using time machine

    Hi there
    I have purchased a new 1TB hard drive for my Mac book pro (late 2008) model. I have time machine installaed on a seperate hard drive connected with an airport base station. I do not have the orginal snow leapoard/mountain lion OS CD or DVD. Can someone please tell me the exact steps to install the new hard drive .
    Thanks

    You haven't inserted your new hard drive yet?.
    There's two ways
    1. install yourself
    2. or pay someone to install it for you.
    If you want to do it yourself go to google and type in "install new hard drive for macbook pro". sometimes it makes a difference what model your macbook which is why i won't provide you a link just in case its the wrong one.
    Its very easy.
    1. remove all screws and the lid.
    2. remove screws from the black bracket which is holding your hard drive in place.
    3. unplug your hard drive.
    4. VERY IMPORTANT (A MISTAKE I MADE). make sure that you remove the external screws from your original hard drive as these screws are the one thing that hold and stabilise your hard drive and stop movement from happening.
    5. insert these external screws to your new hard drive (there are four screws)
    6. insert and plug your new hard drive.
    7. screw the black bracket in firmly
    8. attach lid and insert all screws firmly.

  • Is it possible to install a HD-DVD drive on a Satellite P20

    Hi Everyone
    Is it possible to install a HD-DVD drive on my P20?
    My screen has died, so I'm going to use this machine as a dedicated Media Centre attached to my TV.
    If I can install a HD-DVD drive it would help a lot.
    Regards
    Richard

    Well, I dont believe that you will be able to use a new HD drive or blue ray drive on this notebook but who knows everything depends on the master / slave and c-sel settings.
    Its possible to change such settings on external desktop drives by switching the jumper but something like that is not possible on slim line internal drivesusually the firmware controls this settings on notebooks drives.
    It seems nobody tried upgrade the P20 with such drive that because this is a new technology and at this time you will not find many internal HD or Blue Ray drives on the market.
    However, please come back and report if you have more info about the upgrade.

  • I want to install a new hard drive on my 2008 MacBook but do not have the instillation discs that came with my computer.  Can I use instillation discs from a 2009 or 2010 MacBook?

    I want to install a new hard drive on my 2008 MacBook but do not have the instillation discs that came with my computer.  Can I use instillation discs from a 2009 or 2010 MacBook?  The hard drive I am planning to install is a WD Scorpio Black 500GB SATA 2.5'' internal hard drive.

    Sometimes they do work - i've done it before.  I have a late 2008 Macbook Uni and used the install dvd of my 2009 Macbook White and it worked.
    Why not just clone your hard drive?  It'll save you a lot of time doing a clone rather than doing a clean install.
    Unless you're having issues with your old set up or  your old hard drive is dead.
    You can download Carbon Copy Cloner - install your new hard drive in a external usb enclosure (around $10) and clone fromt here then test it before you install it in your Macbook.
    Once you've done the swap, you can install your old hard drive in the USB enclosure and use it as a backup drive.
    Good luck

    i see that i have a problem after installing my new hard drive on my macbook pro mid 2009 version. I put a new hard drive, with all of my information from my old drive installed on it, into the computer. but now have the blinking question mark folder. I see that it means that it isn't reading the new hard drive.
    did i miss a step between transferring all of my information from my old hard drive to the new hard drive and installing the new hard drive into the computer. I believe that i installed properly. it was quite easy.
    thanks for your help

    It means there is no bootable system on the drive. If you still have access to the old drive, then I suggest you boot from it then clone it to the new internal drive. Use OPTION boot to boot from the Recovery HD on the old drive:
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
         1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu then press the Continue
             button.
         2. Select the destination volume from the left side list.
         3. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
         4. Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it
             to the Destination entry field.
         5. Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to
             the Source entry field.
         6. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
    Source means the external old drive. Destination means the new internal drive.

  • I'm trying to install a new hard drive on my Touchsmart but the recovery disks won't boot.

    The Touchsmart 300-1120 is only 1.5 years old and it's hard drive is already fried.  I bought a new hard drive, ordered the recovery disks, and it still won't boot.  I've changed the boot order to go from the CD drive first, but all it does is click and then give the same error message it gave when the fired hard drive was in.  I checked the diagnostic, and it can see the new hard drive...it just won't boot. 

    Sometimes they do work - i've done it before.  I have a late 2008 Macbook Uni and used the install dvd of my 2009 Macbook White and it worked.

  • D I have to install a new hard drive on my computer in order to upgrade my computer

    I have an older IMAC with Mac OSX 10.5.8 installed. I am unable to upgrade my software. Will installing a new hard drive enable me to me up to date?

    No. In order to upgrade:
    Upgrading to Snow Leopard
    You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
    After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mavericks if your computer meets the requirements.
         Snow Leopard General Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
           2. 1GB of memory
           3. 5GB of available disk space
           4. DVD drive for installation
           5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
               fees may apply.
           6. Some features require Apple’s iCloud services; fees and
               terms apply.
    Upgrading to Yosemite
    You can upgrade to Yosemite from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Yosemite can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for FREE.
    Upgrading to Yosemite
    To upgrade to Yosemite you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Download Yosemite from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Yosemite is free. The file is quite large, over 5 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
        OS X Mavericks- System Requirements
          Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Yosemite
             1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 7,1 or later
             2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 5,1 or later
             3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 2,1 or later
             5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             7. Xserve (Early 2009) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
    To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
         Are my applications compatible?
             See App Compatibility Table - RoaringApps.
    Upgrading to Lion
    If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mavericks, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
    You can purchase Lion at the Online Apple Store. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax.  It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
         Lion System Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
               or Xeon processor
           2. 2GB of memory
           3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
           4. 7GB of available space
           5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
    Now, you may need a new hard drive, but not to upgrade the OS unless your drive has no more free space left.

  • Potential Driver Issues with OS Install on New Hard Drive?

    I want to upgrade my laptop's hardrive, but my laptop did not come with recovery discs. I did purchase a full copy of Windows 7 Professional, but I have been saving it...for when all else fails, I suppose. Whether I am able to reinstall Win 7 Home or whether I have to install Win 7 Pro, how can I be sure to reinstall all the necessary HP drivers (e.g. trackpad, cool sense, beats audio, etc.) for my machine? Is it best to download the drivers prior to installing the new hard drive and have them ready on a flash drive; or is there an easier method? Thanks.
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    Yes that is a very good question.
    It's very much advised you do a HDD error check, hard drive test from BIOS and SFC scan lastly.
    You can then undergo a disk cleanup and disk defragmentation of the HDD & then proceed with backing up or cloning tools.
    I do back up regularly into my 2TB external drive using Macrium reflect, AOMEI back upper and also have all my latest drivers downloaded and copied to another USB along with another bootable USB with Windows OS ISO.
    Note: I've already created my recovery media after I setup the laptop first time for additional safety.

  • Installing a new hard drive (hard disk)

    Hi. I'm planning to install a new hard drive to my computer. Does anyone know how to install a new HD? Or does anyone know a link or anything? I also need to know if I should back up my original hard drive
    Thanks,
    Frisbo
    G4 Processor Dual 867 MHz   Mac OS X (10.4.5)   EPSON R300 Photo Printer

    Hi, Frisbo -
    Sorry - meant to address the backing-up issue in my previous post.
    In the grand scheme of things working as intended, there should be no reason to have to back up your existing drive before adding a second drive - other than a hardware disaster or a formatting error (picking the wrong drive to initialize), there is little chance the data on the exisiting drive would be affected.
    The operative phrase is 'working as intended'. That is why good practice includes maintaining a reasonably current backup of the important (can't afford to lose 'em) files on a drive at all times - things do happen, sometimes bad things or even catastrophies, without warning.
    Backing up files was easier in OS 9 and earlier than it is with OSX, although backing up data files is still relatively easy - it is backing up the OS that has become less easy.
    Unlike with OS 9, OSX can not be backed up via a Finder copy process (drag-copy). It is necessary to use a utility such as Carbon Copy Cloner in order to clone OSX to another volume in order to create a backup of it. I believe it can also be used to back up the entire drive.

  • I had to install a new hard drive because my old hard drives boot files became corrupted, and i want to get all of my music files off the old hard drive and regain all my play counts/ratings/playlists

    Greetings everyone
    as the title says, ive had to install a new hard drive  and i want to transfer my old itunes library onto the new drive, maintaining all playlists/play counts/ratings etc, album artwork if possible. The old hard drive is installed as a slave drive and is completely acessible, but due to the boot files being corrupted i cannot use it as the main drive and therefore operate my old itunes. Also, my ipod no longer contains my music library as itunes synced without my permission and wiped it.
    The only thing i have tried is copying all of my old music files from the old drive by selecting 'add folder to library' and then the old drive, then replacing the new itunes library.itl file with the one from my old itunes. This restores all my playlists and playcounts but when i try to play any of the songs it says that the files could not be found, and i dont fancy locating  8500 music files individually!
    Thankyou for taking the time to read my post, any help will be greatly appreciated.

    Ah, my reply was based on the assumption that you had a default installation of iTunes.
    i.e you had all your music in the iTunes media folder inside your iTunes folder.
    If your iTunes folder is so small compared to the amount of music you have, you must have a different arrangement.
    This complicates you situation considerably.
    iTunes can cope with moving around as long as all the music is in the iTunes media folder, not not if it isn't.
    Your first step should be to get iTunes working on the old drive. This will involve editing the xml library file so that the drive letter is correct and then rebuilding the library from the xml file.
    Then you will need to consolidate your library which moves everything into the iTunes media fodler. After that you will be able to use my first suggestion.
    Step 1
    Find the iTunes folder on the old drive and copy the two library files somewhere else so you can find them again. That's iTunes Library.itl and iTunes Library.xml.
    Now open the copy of iTunes Library.xml with WordPad.
    Look for lines starting:
    Location
    These contain the paths to tracks.
    You will need to use a find/replace to change the drive letter so that it is correct.
    Make sure that you include enough in the "find" so that you only change the right thing.
    Maybe /c:/ and replace with /d:/ or whatever.
    After that, tell iTunes to use the library on the old drive with a shift key start.
    Hold down the shift key and start iTunes, keep holding the shift key until you are prompted to choose a library. Navigate to the iTunes folder on the old drive and choose iTunes Library.itl.
    Then use the method in the following article to rebuild your library;
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1451
    Unfortunately the date added will be today for all tracks.
    If iTunes works correctly after this, consolidate your library
    File>>Library>>Organize>>consolidate
    This copies all tracks into to iTunes media folder and could create a problem if you do not have disk space so don't do it if you are unsure about free disk space.
    Check that iTunes works OK and then use the first method.
