Today I added a third internal hard drive, Disk C, a serial ATA drive running off a PCI controller card. I want this new one to replace Disk A, which is a small drive that I want to get rid of and replace with a bigger one. My plan was to move everything from Disk A over to Disc C, so that C would then contain everything that A did, and assume all its functions (and in effect become A), and then I would remove the original A drive from the Mac.
So, I used Carbon Copy Cloner to copy everything from Disk A over to Disk C. And sure enough, Disk C now shows up on the Startup Disk panel as a disk with a bootable 9.2.2, just like A, and it has everything on it that A does. However, unlike A, C won't boot. If I choose it as the startup disk and restart, Disk A always appears as the one in control. This happens even if I drag Disk A to the trash to dismount it, leaving Disk C as the only OS 9 choice on the Startup Disk panel. On restart, Disk A always reappears as the boot disk in charge.
So, is there any way that I can make Disk C take over all the data and functions of A, so that I can remove A and replace it with a bigger drive?
Thanks for any suggestions.
Tom
