Yes. Do you have "somewhere else" to copy the video files to, like a backup HD? Alternatively, if you have a (Firewire preferably) dock to connect the new drive externally, you could copy the files over before you install the 500GB--it's somewhat safer. Cloning works well with CCC. -- -- 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.
