Congrats on the 900MHz and getting the drive installed. I've suffered
similar mistakes when it comes to forgetting to connect something (like the
DC-in-board cable after replacing the logic board on a 12"
PowerBook...Ugh!).

CCC always seemed to give me trouble about half the time. It was most
successful after zeroing the drive. I was quite happy when I discovered
SuperDuper. I've yet to have a clone fail. One thing to keep in mind is that
it can take hours to clone a drive (CCC or SuperDuper) depending on how much
your copying, so you have to be patient.
