"Hi all,I am new to this machine and OSX jaguar,right now everything is working and setup up very well,so before I screw-up.. and I will,, I want advice how best to copy my hard disk,I have a combo drive and two blank CD-r disks,but the jaguar upgrade alone was two CD's so my question is can I copy it all as a bootable set If I buy enough disks?? Or am I better of to get a external hardrive houseing for one of the drives from my old machine?? I really dont know what Im doing LOL... but Im doing it real well so far. thankyou so far" Your copied system will not boot. Unless you used cccloner to make the copy. OSX has many required files that are invisable and do not copy with the finder. I am not sure that Toast will burn a bootable copy of OSX either. -Someone chime in on this- The best solution is probably a new internal HD (if you have only one now) or a new external FW HD. jj
