Put the powerbook into firewire target disk mode; connect it to your MBP; insert the 10.2 disc into your MBP; then see if it will allow you to load the installer and choose the powerbook's hard drive. Your post is hard to understand, so if you've tried this already, let me know.

Consider getting 10.4. It is much better than 10.2.

What Mac computer did your 10.2.1 disc come with?
