>> What happened? Perhaps you're new HD was the wrong format? I believe you're on an eMac, meaning you'd need the PPC format to boot successfully, it's the one called "Apple Partition Scheme". Since you're running Leopard, I believe that Leopard's default format for Disk Utility is "GUID Partition Scheme" which is what the Intel Macs use. If you simply partitioned a OEM HD it likely was formatted as "FAT32" which is a Windows format. I'd make sure the partition format is correct. To check, open Disk Utility, highlight the HD and go the the "Partition" tab. The current partition format should be shown at the bottom under "Partition Map Scheme". If it is correct, then your clone likely failed. Try Carbon Copy Cloner in "block mode". If it'd not correct, you'll need to start again by repartitioning the HD using the correct "Apple Partition Scheme". --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
