I have been putting this off for a long long time, upgrading to 8.6 from 8.0. I am not confident about the approach to doing it. The old faithful 6200 ppc 64 Mb which has stood by me through thick and thin needs it to be able to access newer material.(applications).
The file system is HFS std , if I backup in std and reformat in HFS plus will I still be able to restore my files to the new format?. If not is it best to stay with HFS std. or start a fresh with HFS plus.
Before reformatting should I defragment or will the reformatting make this unnecessary. I also have an external 18 Gb HD running at 7200 rpm, is it best to keep the system on the original 500 Mb internal HD or utilize a partition on the external faster drive.
Any tips or pointers would be appreciated.
