Hey guys,
Love this forum. You helped me repair my iBook! (See the iBook DIY thread)

Currently, the iBook has OSX 10.2.8. I may try and upgrade that later, dependent upon how the iBook behaves.
I currently have the little 10 gig drive in it, and I do not have the install disks. I want to install an 80 gig drive I have laying around.
Can anyone recommend a cheap (read free) clone or backup program?

Thanks,
Mitch

Or dd (included with OSX) if you're unix savvy.

superduper is free for cloning a drive. I use it to make a back up of my system every month and it works all the time

iBook G4 1.33ghz 12" with 1024MB Ram, 80gb HD, Dual-Layer SuperDrive

Looks like this might be pretty painless.
