Thanks Dan & Mark - I've pulled the "install new OS, duplicate user
folder then switch with old user folder" trick once before, when I
wanted to get a G5 up and running quickly after it had been out of
action for awhile ... to this day I still have permission issues. ;-}
If the app looks for a firewire connection, I guess what I need is
another G5 to accommodate the old HD.
Cheers,
Tobes.

Hi Tobes
I haven't tried it via two internal drives. As it needs to look for a
Firewire connection it may not work but not 100% sure on that though.
You
could always setup the new drive, create the same User, then reboot
over to
the older user and replace the folders inside it with your current
data.
That may also work.
I've done that on a couple of my machines, and then just repaired
permissions, and it all worked fine. Not the best way, but still works
well.
:o) And always worth it as a last resort.
Hope that helps.
Kind Regards
Daniel
