@Clark: ingenious! But if he values his data, he should have a backup, like an external HD or something. Even if he doesn't, I'm sure he can borrow a USB drive to do the transfer job. I guess he had not started on it yet because he wanted to be clear about the entire procedure first, and he wasn't sure how to copy the OS over.
I agree with Greg that he should consider doing a fresh OS install, depending on how long he's been working with this system drive, and on how much time he can spend on the install of OS and application software. @Greg: I guess what you say about copying over the OS is about Apple's Drive Utility. But CCC can clone system disks independent of what the Mac is booted from. -- -- 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.
