hi,
i.ve a disk firewire lacie mobile with autopower usb.
I want to install osx panther on it, but when i boot (with option key pressed) the system can't find it. I saw the led power of the disk don't turn on while ibook is booting and i think this is the dilemma.

My configuration is:

ibook g4 800
disk firewire lacie mobile 40GB 4200 rpm autopower.

thanks

Welcome to MacNN.

Does the iBook find the drive if you attach it after you've already booted up?

Is the disk bootable?

What do you have it plugged into? A hub, or directly into the iBook?

Have you tried powering it with an external power source, or on a powered external USB hub?

It's plugged directly and i don't try to power it with external source because i haven't it. Maybe using external USB hub i resolve all my problem. I'll try it. Thanks
