There's an article on their web site (wdc.com) that explains why, but I can't find it at the moment. - Aaron >Date: Sun, 10 Aug 2008 02:23:31 -0400 >From: "Marty Levine" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >To: g3-5-list <[email protected]> >Subject: Bootable Clone won't boot & Bootable clone vs Time Machine > >I hope these questions are close enough for the G3-G5 list that the >nannies wont object. >If not which lists to I use for the hard drive questions below> > >First of all, I convinced my friend to make a bootable clone for her >PowerBook G4 (12", 1.33mhz, 512MB, 60GB, OSX 10.4.11).
