(this should be in the iBook thread, but it's cool)

Lots of patience, and LOTS of screws you will face. Just follow the directions on this link...

Thanks to that guy's site, I wa able to install a larger 40 GB hard drive and a DVD module in my indigo iBook (which is now my wife's).
Let us know if it works for you.


Cheers!
