Greetings,

I just installed a new internal drive into my 1st generation G4 tower. I have an external drive that has been serving as my primary drive since the factory installed 40GB drive conked out on me during finals week (argh!).

What I want to do is make my new internal drive an exact duplicate of my external drive, with the ability to have a live, bootable system folder.

I don't have access to high speed right now, and don't want to spend the hours needed to reinstall my system software onto the new drive, and download all the updates.

How do I do this? In the end, I want my new internal drive to be my primary disk, with the external serving as back-up and transport.

Any help you can provide would be most appreciated!

Carbon Copy Cloner perhaps? You can find it on VersionTracker.
