I've been running too long without a decent backup system and now
that i've shut down my Yikes! and gotten my deck rearranged, I need
to set something up again.
I have a LaCie (Seagate) 13gb USB external drive that I bought in
2000 or so. It has a bad sector in it so I haven't used it for a few
years. I pulled the enclosure apart today to see if I can get another
drive running in it. Right now I have a 20gb Ultra ATA formatting,
but it's taking so long I suspect it's not working right.
This is an ATA enclosure but how do I know if it will take an ultra
or serial ATA drive? I was going to buy a new drive to put in it but
I am wondering if I'm better off spending the extra cash (which I
don't really have) for a full enclosure with drive.
I also don't believe USB is bootable with the newer machines, correct?
I have a FW800 G4 running Jag and a 1.2ghz iBook running Panther.
TIA,
Diane
