Hi, can anyone recommend a utility for cloning my iBook HD? I would like to make an exact copy of the HD onto a firewire LaCie HD, then get rid of a disk partition that is on the iBook HD. I don't suppose there is software that I could just hit an icon for copy and then when I have got rid of the partioning and installed OS X.3 again that I could just install the utility again and hit a rstore button, restart and be back to normal??? Is that to much to ask? I dread the thoughts of having to reinstall stuff again and trying to get everything set up the way I like it.
Thats for your help
