Install windows on ibook g3

I get to the installer wizard, and I get all the way to the 'Select Destination' part of the install, and this is where I get stuck. The installer doesn't show a hard drive partition, so I can't install it anywhere. I know that I need to format the hard drive, but I didn't have the tools to mount it on my Windows machine to pre-format it before putting it in the computer.
I burned a live-cd of Ubuntu Other sources say to just open the terminal from the installer and use fdisk , but I don't see a way to do that, closing the installer window just restarts the computer, and there are no other programs to run.
So, as it turns out OS X If you start the installer and move past the Introduction section, you cannot get back to the Disk Utility, you have to restart the computer! The YouTube video of the installer that klanomath posted was a huge help. I'm reposting it here for future people:. Mac OS X Sign up to join this community.

I suppose I have to get ready to count my losses then? User profile for user: Allan Eckert Allan Eckert. They will need that serial number and will charge a nominal fee for them.
It is probably worth a shot. In conjunction with that it can use OS 9. However, without its original disks you can not install a bootable OS 9 on it. You might take a look at offerings on eBay or other similar sites. Caution - be sure to get a CD explicitly for your model. Most large cities and universities have one.

That's something at least. I think I can take it from here. Firstly, the CD burned perfectly and was recognized by my iBook as a proper HFS disk unlike my Icewind Dale attempt , and after a few failures I managed to learn a bit about the Mac as I updated its firmware. Opening the Install program inside the CD which has a simple restart button, that automatically tries to make Startup Disk select the CD and then reboot, doesn't do anything either.
I'm really puzzled over the matter. I took a lot of looks at other forums and a few have the same problem. I was jolly excited that I managed to learn a few startup key combinations, update my firmware while I'm at it and burned the CD perfectly, but I just cannot seem to get the installer to work. Anyone have an idea on how to solve this?

If I can get a nice system running at 64mb, I can brag and enjoy running the most minimal non-Macintosh OS I've ever used.
I'll report when I get things going. The process were surprisingly straightforward and clean things were smoother than my previous attempts at installing Debian, but there's the usual headaches for installing a Linux distro , and what's even more surprising is that everything is incredibly smooth.
