Thanks Laurent. I wasn't planning to nor did I do anything to the original; it remains safe. Why wouldn't you be surprised? Synchronize did not succeed. (Thus, all failed: CCC, Synchro Plus, SuperDuper, etc.) What it made was unbootable, but now I just installed a new system over the clone and am finding most of the copied apps are fine. Still no useable clone out of the gate though. What kind of disk problems could cause this? I repaired permissions, wiped the target, and the target seems to work fine with fresh installs off the x installer disks...damn mystery. > The disk speed shouldn't have anything to do with it and since I have used > SuperDuper to create a disk image over the network I'm certain that isn't > the problem either.

What do you mean exactly by cloning to a disk image? Do you mean make a disk image of the source to expand on the target drive?
