Hi guys,
Its me again...you guys that has been using Macs for 20 years but
still doesn't know what to do most of the time!
I just purchased a lovely 80GB hard drive for my Titanium. It is
quieter and faster than the original. One problem, when I tried to
copy the hard drive to a big Maxtor backup drive and then to the new
hard drive, after taking my old one out - nothing seemed to work
right. I am running OS 10.3 right now. First of all it wouldn't
let me copy many things because it said that I didn't have the
priviledges and then I say all of these funning things like
"Finder.data" sitting all over the place and the funning "Resource
Fork" folders and the like! Most of the files once they got to my
new hard drive lost their icons for a funning looking "Exec" black
box icon and the programs wouldn't recognize them. Help! I nearly
lost it when I thought that I have lost everything! Eventually, I
bagged it and went back to the old hard drive so that I could get on
with work...
See I told you I was an idiot! :)
Can you guys please help? Is there a step by step instruction on how
to do this process under OS 10.3? I really don't want to have to go
through the huge process of reloading OS 10.3 on my new hard drive.
If I could simply copy my present hard drive over to it that would be
optimal.
Thanks for your help guys,
Cal Conkey
