Hi!
In the end all that I had to do was reformat my new hard-drive and
everything worked like a dream. I could easily transfer most of my files
to the new drive. I assumed that because I had bought the drive from an
Apple retailer that it would have been ready to go with my Mac. Lesson
learned!

Don't move the documents folder, move what's 'inside' the documents

the need to use such utilities.
All files on the disk have privileges. It may be that some of them in
the iPhoto folder are set incorrectly.
You could try a search on that folder for just your graphic files,

Thank you for the tips on what to do with my aging G4 and lack of disk
space...so I went out yesterday and bought myself an external/firewire
drive.
So last night there I was ready to transfer my music, photos, movies and
