Cannot erase Ubuntu from Mac for sister...
As the name suggests I cannot erase Ubuntu from the mac without problem or two.
Well, I first attempted to clean the slate (erase the HDD) with the install cd, which is Mac OX 10.1.2 (yes I know old, but I don't think my G3 supports anything other then this... and if they do, I don't have money to buy it... and no I didn't pay for the mac ;] )
it gets to the select drive in which to install it on... I only see the cd which is obviously Read Only. So now that I know that MacOX 10.1.2 does not read ext3, I went on to using my ubuntu disks.. since that is the only disks that I have that supports PPC. Well Ubuntu does not allow to just make free space like I had hope to (this is running under expert mode), instead it NEEDS a path plus something other then FREE SPACE, or New Word. So basicly I can create a partition that only includes a source destination path, with nothing in it...
I have tried in the past on my mac (I got for free also) the same exact thing but one revision earlier then my sisters. I did everything above, except I did another step... and that was to fdisk the drive using the console on the gnome desktop. A bad mistake because it seem to F up my drive/computer. I had to zap my pram after about a week of trying to figure out why I had a wiered console appear when booting the mac.
My question is, how do I erase linux for my sister? Or install my MacOS X for that matter?
