How it works is this: when you install the new drive, you then install OS X from your 10.5 disk. After the OS is installed, the setup asks you if you want to import your data from another mac or disk. So long as the time machine volume is online, it will restore the data that was on that drive...it will not overwrite newer information on the other disk. -- Bruce Johnson University of Arizona College of Pharmacy Information Technology Group Institutions do not have opinions, merely customs --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
