Ok so heres the deal: I recently acquired an iBook G3, but its onlly got a 20 GB HDD. I have a 100GB HDD I wanted to transplant into it, but the dude I got it off of didn't have the OS disk. It is running OS-X tiger and I was wonderings if there was someway to transfer the OS off of this HDD onto the new one without having to buy the OS again.

There is, and it's easy. You do need to be able to connect the 100GB drive to the iBook via the firewire or USB. But once the hard drive is mounted on the desktop, download and launch CCC (Making sure you download version 2.3 from the bottom of the page). Set it up (setting it to make a bootable clone), and then walk away. After a long while, it will have copied the whole drive over to new drive, and once you install it into the iBook, it'll boot.
