ABS not receiving information from cable modem. Direct connection
from cable modem to G4 QS is OK so modem is working. Computer is

Hi All
I'm trying to transfer DVD images fro a 1TB drive to a new 2TB drive the size
of the transfer is about 560 GB i've only been able to move about 235 GB and a
lot of the other files choke with a finder error, I'm sure the files are OK
because they play??

Are you moving them in one swift stroke or one by one? I find
sometimes the otherwise nonsensical process of moving things one by
one, especially in large transfers, keeps things stable and running.
Is this on your G5 or G4 (I saw a G4 in those pictures of your G5

Try getting one of those plugs where you plug it into the SATA port, and
it splits it into 2 SATA ports. Maybe that'll work. Only thing is, where do
