[G4] 2002 Quicksilver - adding second hard drive

[Mel]

Mike,
Since Unix uses many invisible files and hard file links (think aliases 
that must be in the correct file path), you can't just copy an OS 
installation like you used to be able to with OS 9. I haven't 
personally used CC Cloner, but everyone swears by it. Can you describe 
your problems a little more so we can figure out what is going wrong? 
What kind of library problems are you having?
You can do a fresh install to the new drive (many people would 
recommend that), create a user and copy your user library and documents 
into it, then run the permissions repair from Disk Utility. That should 
preserve most of your settings and a fresh install is reported to 
improve speed over an upgraded installation.
