Everything is the same between the 2 Seagate 7200.10 PATA drives except: Size Heads/Disks 750GB 8/4 500GB 6/3 Pretty near the same data on both, except for the OS X 10.5.7 on the QS has the M-Audio drivers ( ... .?. ... ). I was using the supplied IDE mobo cables (short 6" CS ones). Tried borrowing a replacement one from my Digital Audio. I've switched to the longer 18" one supplied in my Retail Kit box, even though I didn't seem to be getting any errors after I switched to the double socket power line ... Now I decided to CCC my backup 10.5.7 to the 750GB partition (done), and I have added back the M-Audio Delta 2496 PCI card. Not sure about cloning back the other partitions: Apps, Docs, Tiger 10.4.11 and Classic 9.2.2 ... probably so. Seems to be working first few Startups. We'll see ... 1 kp after a Safe Boot, while running Activity monitor, but seems level now on Restart. Rebuilt kextcache on Restart, according to Activity Monitor. thanks for your help. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ 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.
