I can't find my original installation disks.
I own an old G4 ibook which I bought directly from Apple years ago. It's original hard drive finally "kicked the bucket" two months ago. I'm going to be replacing the hard drive when I get it, but for the life of me I can't find my original installation disks.
Will getting one of the newer operating systems work or am I screwed. Any answers will help. Thanks!!

You can get a copy of your original system installation disk from Apple. Just call them, 1-800-MYAPPLE, give them your serial number, and a credit card. They card $16.00 plus tax for this and you generally get it within 4 days. You would need a retail system installation to bump the operating system. For the advisability on this please give us the last three figures of your serial number and your RAM configuration. Thanks
Thanks for answering! Pardon me for being a little confused with trying to find the serial number. I have 5 different sets of numbers on my computer. One under the battery and four under the keyboard.
Last 3 on Serial is S85. As for the RAM I think it's 32 VRAM? Sorry for my stupidy on this if it's wrong.
