partition/drive you will probably see the hidden directories/files. After
a reboot these files will become hidden as they should be. Perhaps you
rebooted before you looked at the cloned drive?</font>

[X4U] firewire drives</font></table>
<br>
<br>
<br><font size=2><tt>Hi all,<br>
I have an LaCie 160 GB external firewire drive, with both the 800 and <br>
400 and USB 2.0 connections. I am running a Powermac G4 quicksilver <br>
(2002) 1.2 gig processor and 1 gig of ram, running mac os x 10.3.7. I <br>
used CarbonCopyCloner to clone my system and made sure the box that <br>
said 'make bootable' was checked. Funny thing is when I open the <br>
firewire drive icon to see whats on the drive I only see the folders. <br>
No dev or boot or etc files. Im rather new with the use of firewire <br>
drives so Im not sure if Ive done something wrong or no. Also is it <br>
proper to leave the firewire drive on or just turn it on when you need
<br>
it ?<br>
Thanx,<br>
spoonbender...<br>
<br>
