Ok what should work.
Get the 'firewire' full backups working as being 'bootable'.
It's then quite simple.
Hook up the firewire cable between the 1TB drive and the new (to you)
15" PB. have the 1TB drive powered up. Power on the new PB while
holding the 'Option Key'. The 'old, backed up system from your present
Ti-Book (on the 1TB drive, will show up as one of the boot choices.
Select it. When the 15" PB boots, then use CCC/ SuperDuper that
system (your old Ti-Book system) TO the HD in the New 15"PB.
DONE
The old Ti-Book system/Data/Garbage/deleted Files/EVERYTHING will now
exist on your NEW 15"PB
Have FUN!!!

Hi all,
I need some help to clarify the best procedure to use to restore the
contents of an internal drive to a new place.
My old G4 15” 800 MHz Ti-Book
I want to restore the entire backed up contents to a “new” 15” 1.64
GHz PB
which will have a clean install of 10.4 in it from the seller, which
I’ll
upgrade to 10.5 after the restoration.
Here is the situation that I’m working with:
I have been doing daily backups of the 800MHz using SuperDuper to an
external 1TB firewire drive. Even though SuperDuper has been
finishing each
backup making the TB drive bootable, it actually isn’t.
