Watch as Jeff performs surgery on his iBook G4, replacing the stock 40 GB hard drive with a new 5400 rpm 60 GB hard drive, using instructions from www.ifixit.com. The whole operation took less than 90 minutes, and only one screw was missing at the end (luckily the screw didn't matter too much).
The computer booted up immediately after Jeff restored the information from the old hard drive to the new using Mac OS X's Disk Utility and an external 2.5" USB 2.0 hard drive enclosure.
The operation required a #0 phillips screwdriver, a Torx T8 screwdriver, and a mini flat screwdriver and putty knife to help pry open the case.
