[Ti] cloning a drive

[Justin R. Miller]

Eric,

I've used CCC for exactly that -- a 60GB upgrade in a 667 DVI :-)   
However I went from old 30GB to external Firewire drive, then booted  
off of it to test, then replaced, then cloned back from FW to internal  
60GB.  All along the way, just hold option at boot to choose which  
drive you want to boot off of.
