Hi Listers,
I think this is probably a quickie -- nothing's broken, nothing's
critical, I'm still in the "thinking" stage concerning installing bigger
internal HDDs in my Quicksilver (HDDs I purchased almost 2 years ago so
you see how "critical" this really is huh? LOL)
My 2-HDD QS 867 is CCC backed-up to to my USB external HDD -- 2 HDDs,
one Tiger 10.4.11, the other Panther 10.3.2. So is my G4 Mini (OS X
Tiger 10.4.2) and my G3/800 iBook (OSX Tiger 10.4.11). Each Mac has its
own partition on the external drive.
Now I know that the only way a CCC'ed external backup is actually
bootable, is if you're trying to boot an INTEL Mac with it; non-Intel
Macs like mine need Firewire to boot from an external, which I no longer
have (the only enclosure I could GET when my faithful old LaCie with FW
finally died was USB). OK. So my question is:
If I transfer the brand newly updated contents of my external HD to a
new (much bigger) internal HD -- via USB and my "Magic Cable" -- and
have that big new loaded-with-all-my-stuff HD *installed in the
Quicksilver*, will it boot the Quicksilver as-is, or will I have to run
an Archive-and-Install from the Tiger DVD? (and Panther CD, for THAT one)?
Thanks! :-)
