Of course you have to do this from a separate boot disk, with the disk to be partitioned mounted through Firewire. When you launch Disk Utility there will be (at least) two icons in the tray on the left edge of the application window. One icon at the top will be the boot disk. The next disk icon will be just below; and the icon below it will be indented to the right. Choose the icon that represents the mounted disk, the one to be partitioned. This will allow the display of five tabs along the upper edge of the centrish window: First Aid, Erase, Partition, RAID, Restore. I frequently erase first, and then partition. When you partition you'll get a column along the left of the central window that shows all the partitions. You'll have only one partition. Underneath the column is a button to Split. Click that and choose the number of partitions you want. Size them and name appropriately, and there you have it. -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

The first gets the backups of my main desktop machine, the second gets backups of my laptop, and I had enough space left over to make a scratch disk for keeping video and audio clips and files. -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Carbon Copy Cloner
Observation... I use CCC (carbon copy cloner) to backup my powerbook to a firewire external case. I use image backups because I can fit 3 or 4 backups on my external drive instead of just one. I backup it up once a week and have about a month of backup images. The CCC process was failing with a Bad File Descriptor error. After 2 weeks I figured out the problem. My external hard drive was too full to create a new image. Instead of saying FULL TARGET DRIVE it gave me the Bad File Descriptor error. Just a heads up. I was worried that my powerbook hard drive was corrupted... and I did not have a recent backup... Remember - ALWAYS BACK UP YOUR DATA... -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Carbon Copy Cloner
How about another reminder -- ALWAYS run disk utilities on your backup drives (Disk Utility, DiskWarrior, etc.). While I had been doing this quite regularly on my internal drive, for some reason I spaced out doing this on my external backup drive. When the time came to restore from that backup, I found that it was too corrupted. Following that, I have become really thorough. Not only do I run DiskWarrior regularly, but I bought two more external drives, and rotate them, keeping one off-site at all times.

Carbon Copy Cloner and its ilk....
A hearty thank you to all who have responded. Here are the goals I have and the problems I have encountered in accomplishing those goals: I have a Pismo fully up to date not only with OSX and a 9.2.2 set up, but also with all my apps and data, natch. I want to clone the whole shebang to my TiBook 667 (purchased over even faster models because it was the last with irDa, a protocol I use and enjoy for quick file swaps with business partners). I recently tried CCC. Problems encountered: 1. Hang in the middle of clone? Should one just continue or erase the target and start over or leave target as is and start over? I tried the last solution and... 2. The target volume was not bootable. So, what have I done incorrectly? Will it also clone all the 9.2.2 aspects? Does the target have to be a certain speed? (Currently, it is a 4400rpm 80 gigger, compared to the source, which a 7200rpm 40 gigger.) All inout regarding accomplishing my goals welcome. Yours, Run V. Illovox Media -- Love means never having to say 'How was it?' ~Tony Randall To the best of my knowledge, CCC is the only SW that will make a bootable image of an OS X start up disk. You can also use it to make perdiodic back-ups of said bootable disks. There are numerous products that can make a bootable image including SuperDuper which is what I am currently using. CCC is a fine product but from day one it has had one annoying flaw - it tends to stall while making a clone to an external drive. If you are cloning internal to internal or partition to partition it isn't as apt to stall but it still does occasionally. I've been using SuperDuper since the day it was released to make cloned disks for work. Great program. david CCC works great for me.. Occasionally an issue with getting it to bless the target drive. Have only had that happen 2x's, and I've done 20 or so fully duplications. My recommendation: make sure you double-check the drive before deleting your original drive!

Your best bet for an emergency backup of that Wallstreet is to back it up to an external SCSI HDD.

Re: Carbon Copy Cloner Copying Specific Programs Mail Port
Here's a question or two: I have an iBook with hinge/screen problems that will be off to Apple for repair. I set up a Pismo for replacement use while it is gone. I've already set up the 9.2.2 System, Programs and Preferences and on the same volume installed the basics of OS X.2.8. What I am wondering is the following: If I use Carbon Copy Cloner, does the target drive get wiped of all except for what is being copied over? Here is my real dilemma: There are programs on the iBook I want to port to the Pismo, particularly FCPro 3, but also others with settings I don't want to have to recreate. I have FCP 4 that I got for my G4 Dual, and when I got it I gave away my FCP 3 set to a needy friend ACROSS THE COUNTRY. Only too late did I realize FCP 4 will not run a G3 book. How do I copy FCP 3 to my Pismo for temp use, plus other specific programs and OSX pref files such as for MSN Messenger? Another question: I want to make the switch to OSX full time, but how do I transfer my OS9 Outlook Express mail and address book stuff etc. to Mail or Outlook in X?
