I have an Ibook G4, which is not working (probably due to DC-board problems). Took out the 60gb 2.5 hard drive yesterday, and hooked it up to my Vista 64 bit computer (using a 2.5 to 3.5 converter, so the HDD is connected to the MOBO with IDE). Need to copy the hard disk content...
Also downloaded HFSExplorer to access the mac file system (which is guess you need to access an OSX file system?!)
Did not manage to find the device in HFSExplorer, neither did it turn up in the Bios, don't think the 2.5 hard drive has any master/slave jumper pin connected (also disconnected dvd-rom which was on the same ide to avoid master/slave issues).
