Hi, I just installed a new 80g HD on an iBook G3 700MHZ, after installing the Mac OSX 10.4 using a Firewire cable using a Powerbook, it won't boot iBook.
But is I start from the Powerbook via Firewire, it works.

Can anyone help me please. Thanks a lot

Hold Option on boot, and see if you can select your new 80GB.
Failing that, try and boot from an OSX Install DVD/CD.

I already did, hold the Option and boot from the 80G, the iBook boot sometimes but freeze after trying some apps.
I also tried installing the Mac OSX but it always promt me a RE-START, SHUTDOWN OR START UP MENU. Most of the time it just hang.

What version of OS X are you trying to install on the iBook, and what model is the Powerbook? 10.5 (Leopard) is not supported on < 867Mhz CPUs.

I had a similar problem when I replaced the drive in my daughters ibook. I cloned her hard drive using superduper, put the new drive in and used the clone to copy everything back onto the new hard drive. I got a flashing question mark whenever I tried to boot from the internal drive. I used the procedure outlined at Bombich.com: Recovering from a Blinking "?" to set the internal drive as the boot drive.
