I’m going completely mad, installing a new hard disk drive into my ageing apple ibook, going from 30mb to 160mb. I got the disk from malaysia on ebay.

Of course it didn’t work! But I thought it should, so I undid all the mad, fiddly screws again and eventually found that I’d inadvertantly dislodged a connector in a place I hadn’t even opened up.

By this time all the screws were muddled up and I forgot to put various bits back so I’ve opened an closed it about five times now. But the disk is there and loading a new, fresh operating system on.

I’d upgrade to leopard before, but I’m taking it back to Tiger, because it didn’t really seem to happy. I’ll see how it goes.
