This video is the result of me having to replace a dead hard drive for a G4 and realizing there aren’t nearly as many videos showing the process.
I know it’s not the “perfect” demonstration setup, not even close – ideally I’d have a top-down view with the camera mounted on the ceiling, but at least you see EVERY step of the replacement visually, all the way to OSX installation. I’m a visual person so just reading about what needed to be done wasn’t giving me a clear idea of how much work it would take.
I hope it helps at least one person out there to have a better idea of what they are getting themselves into
Lastly I must mention http://www.ifixit.com/ because had it not been for THEIR helpful guide and website I doubt I would have been able to do this nearly as smoothly. Mad props to them for their wonderful step-by-step guides (with pictures)!
