I took a 160G hd that was attached to an Acard ATA 133 serial controller in my beige beast and just moved it, lock, stock and partitions (7.8G for OSX, 130G and 18G) over to my new 533 G4 Digital Audio. Since the G4 would only see the first 127G of the 160G HD, I moved over the Acard controller over also to the G4.
Everything worked fine. I just decided that I was going to rip most of my Lps to MP3s and decided I was going to add a second HD, 120G. I hooked it to the onboard ATA controller (BTW, speed tests with the 120G on the ATA 66 on board are just as fast as the 160G on the Acard 133 controller). I used Carbon Copy Cloner to clone the 7.8G system partition over to the freshly formatted 120G HD with just one 120G partition. I repaired permissions before I cloned and started using the 120G as my main startup drive. I also repaired permissions after cloning. I am now having some interesting problems. When I double click on a document to open it (for example a jpg) I get a warning saying approxiametly that "Opening this document with the application Graphic Converter for the first time. Are you sure you want to do this?". I click yes. If I close Graphic Converter, then double click the same jpg, I get the same message each time I open it. This also happens when I click the Mozilla icon in the dock, if Mozilla is not running. I am also getting some interesting mouse (Logitech 2 button scroll wheel). Once I have found something with the find command in the finder, not using sherlock, I can double click it to open it, but I can not drag it from the find window onto an icon (ie: onto the Graphic Converter icon). The finder will not allow me to drag the icon at all. I am trying to not have to reclone the drive (should it take more than 2 hours to clone about 6G?). Anyone have any ideas on this problem, or do I just reclone the HD? Thanks, Len -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
