All you need it another HDD to copy to, either internal or external.  
Just choose the source the Target disk, Tell it to copy everything  
and go. When your done I would boot from the copy to be certain you  
have a good copy.

 If you've had that much improvement going from a 4,200rpm HD to a  
 7,200rpm, a solid-state HD would be even better, and conserve a little  
 of that precious battery life also. The downside of the 7,200rpm is  
 heat output, which has been known to overheat laptops, and decreased  
 battery run-time. I believe modern 5,400rpm laptop HDs offer  
 substantial improvement over the OEM Apple 4,200rpm HDs that came in  
 the clamshell.

I think you will find that newer 7200 rpm drives use less power and
run cooler than the original Apple 4200 rpm drives, I have seen people
claim an increased battery life with a newer (faster) drive.
Also while solid state sounds great I think all the current ones are
SATA so you would need to find a very slimline converter that you
could shoehorn into the Clamshell, that would probably have an impact
on the speed and would also consume power.

Re: OFF-LIST: I can't format this new hard drive???

[Richard Gerome]

   I've been running this Clamshell with the new 7200rpm HD for hrs on just the 
battery, it's cooler then my other Clamshell and the battery which I clocked 
2yrs ago it ran for almost 2.5hrs (marked it on the battery) it is now lasting 
for over 2.5hrs!!! These tests I ran are just idling and not going to screen 
saver or surfing the web... I haven't shut it down since yesterday morning and 
it is only a little bit warm on the bottom where the HD is!!! I never leave my 
computers running anyway when I'm not using them I always shut all of them down 
when not in use...
   So Ben, I think you might be right??! Only time will tell???

I make a separate partition on the Target drive, for each OS and other  
partitions I am backing up.


Then use CCC to make a clone of the Source partitions, one at a time,  
to the Target partition.


I think its best to be booted from the OS X partition, where CCC is  
stored, who's OS X is being cloned. I have OS X 10.5.8, 10.4.11, OS 9  
Classic, and APPS and DOCS partitions, that I back up with CCC  
regularly. For the last 3, I use the CCC I have on the OS X 10.5.8  
partition, while booted from that partition.


The CCC site, also has a Forum for questions, and documentation. It is  
suggested you read the manual before posting on the Forum ... and  
search the forum, also. They're a little short staffed, and appreciate

I posted this in the g-books section but it is equally pertinent here.

Compare 4200, 5400 and 7200 RPM drives in a Powerbook
http://www.xlr8yourmac.com/IDE/hitachi_travelstar60GB_7200/travelstar60GB_7200rpm.html

From my own experience with my powerbooks of various flavours , each time I 
went up from a 4200 to 5400 then to a 7200RPM drive resulted in a 15-20% 
increase in speed.
The early 7200 RPM drives certainly ran hotter and louder with an increase in 
power needed to run them than previous 5400 RPM drives but the later versions 
(as all technology improves) are a lot better.

 Hey Stewie, Thanks for doing that!!! That g-book group when ever I try to post there it won't let me, it tells me I have to register and I already am... So when I try to register it tells me that user name is already taken, I say yes I know it is me??? Anyway talking about quieter, I think it does run quieter too!!! The HD I got is a: " Hitachi " Model# HTS726060M9AT00 Manufactured Jul - 08... Now someone yesterday told me they make 10,000rpm HD's for laptops too??? That sounds like something to put in my Ti Powerbook??? How would that work???

Now the switch is held by a screw you can loosen.

G'day

When you import from any camera, iPhoto should recognize any previous photos 
that it already has stored, and offer to import a second copy, or ignore the 
previously existing ones.

If you select Import All it only takes the new stuff, it shouldn't
