I have a 80GB HD in a Powerbook G4 and I have 2 bootable partitions. The main (meaning contains most of my apps and prefs) being 20GB and obviously the remainder in the second partition. Unfortunately I have only 2 GB left in my main partition, therfore I want to repartition the main to have 40 Gb . I am trying to do the following as I do not want to erase either.
I have tested, creating a disc image with my second part. with disk utility to an external HD. To do this I was booted in my first part. opened DU and made a compressed disk image of my second part. (all fine and I could even mount the disk image).
I then erased my second volume with DU, (mac extended and journ.)
I then proceeded to boot up with my install discs (10.3.2) and opened up disc utility to restore the the disc image on the external back to the second part. to see if it would work.
I could select the source disk image and I could select the second part. in destination.
Noted however was the images menu was missing and the ability to 'scan image for restore'. However, I then proceeded to restore and I kept receiving the following errors 'Restore Failure An error (16) occurred while copying' or 'Restore Failure An error (2) occurred while copying' the only difference being between the two errors is that I either had erase destination checked or unchecked in DU.
My second part. owner is myself with read and write access. I also changed group to unknown with read and write access but no difference.
Has anyone come across this issue before, hopefully it is something simple to rectify,
regards,
Dave
