Hi!
I have a MDD 1.25MHz PMac (noisy one!) with original 120GB IBM disk. I just bought another 200GB WD disk with 8MB cache and put it into the second ATA slot. I have a couple of questions on this;
1. Do I have to put the new disk into the first (master) slot and use it as a boot disk to take full advantage of the bigger cache? I ran XBench on both disks, and didn't see much difference at the current setting.
2. I have my home directory in the seperate partition (HOME) and I duplicated everything in IBM disk to WD disk (same number of partitions) using a CCC. When I booted to WD disk, it didn't recognize my account. It briefly showed the login window (user list), then switched to the blank username and password login window. The system didn't allow me to log in, and I can log in only with a "root" account, which is in the original system partition.
When I tried to open "Accounts" in System Preference (under System), it crashed the System Preference. I also tried to open NetInfo Manager to see my account setting, it didn't open any window. I couldn't open "/" domain manually either.
So, what did I do wrong? it looks like the system cannot locate my home directory. Where can I set it manually?
Thanks in advance.
