I recently bought a 120GB hard drive for my G4 400Mhz Sawtooth. I
put it in my system and set it to slave. I left the factory 20GB in
there set to master. I want to install Panther soon as my main
operating system leaving 9 on the 20GB as backup. I'll also install
9.2.2 on the slave drive because I still have some programs that will
need to start up classic to run.
Will this set up work? Is there any problem with running X as the
main operating system from a slave drive as long as I set that drive
as the boot drive? Or should I change the jumpers on the two drives
and make the 120 GB the master and the factory 20GB the slave?
I haven't formatted the 120GB yet, as I thought I'd use the OS X disk
to partition it when I install.
Thanks,
Lynn
