Ken, Are you using two precisely pieces of hardware!?... i.e. two PowerMac G4 Cubes/450!? I'm affraid you can't clone OSX for different hardwares. Just my guess... LM >>> kr-johnson at comcast.net - 2004/11/08 17:36 PM >>> I recently cloned one mac to another. Afterwards, the clone will not start. It gets through most of the startup stuff, but then gets stuck at the end with the message "Waiting for Apple File Service" or "Login Window" on the startup progress bar screen. I have tried re-cloning, this time erasing the target directories before copying, but get the same results. Any ideas? Ken
