SuperDuper! <http://www.shirt-pocket.com/SuperDuper/SuperDuperDescription.html> Worth every penny of the 20 bucks you'll spend on it. I use it all the time and swear by it. GREAT for backups, too.>> ------------ Thanks Alex, Dylan, Kris and Al. I tried the trial version of SuperDuper and Wow! No problems in transfer data to my new hard drive. Really fast 800 MB/min on my Data drive. Yeah, I'll spring for the $20 and get all the features. ----------- And Al Writes: <<Strictly speaking, the terms "master" and "slave" do not apply to your question. These terms relate to how the computer hardware deals with the hard dr ives. A drive is master or slave by virtue of the physical jumper settings on the back end of the drive. This has nothing do with how you use the drives and what you put on them. While you cannot have two masters or two slaves on one bus cable, the slave can handle your OS and data just as well as the master.>> ---------------- Sorry for the misunderstanding. I needed to transfer data from my current drive (master) to a new not installed drive. I installed the new drive as slave and transferred all the contents of the old drive to the new one. Now the old drive is history and the new drive is now jumped as master. Much thanks for everyone's input. --glen (digest mode) -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
