    Hi everyone. I recently upgraded components to an old PC of mine and now I want to do the same with my ibook. Just getting to the HDD makes this thing a completely different animal. So, I thought I would just reset everything to factory settings. My problem is, I only have one of the system restore disks. Do I need all of them? Im hoping that the others are filled with application demos and whatnot. Am I in trouble? Someone please help. :(

    EDIT: So, I went along and just put in disk 1. Everything looks okay. It will erase everything and install the OS but the disk is a little scratched up. I have the option of just continuing though...bad idea?
