happened to my ibook a week ago. Definitely the HD giving up the ghost, sorry to say. Are you all backed up?
Got a tip for us?

Yes I'm all backed up. Don't be sorry, I'm actually glad it's just the HD and not something that I couldn't fix. It also gave me a reson to upgrade to a larger drive.

good luck!
easy fix, great drive (have that one in my ibook).
fix macs, throw peecees, fix macs, throw peecees...
repeat as needed
Installing that drive was 2 hours of intense work! But well worth it. If I had to do it over again I could probably do it in 40 MInutes. Now my baby is running like a champ. I want to thank everyone on this thread for all your help, I wouln't have done it without you.
dmw007- Good luck finding another flying powerbook.
