What I would like to do is move all my drives, including the boot-up drive, from the 867 to the 1.25. The 867 is currently running Leopard. The 1.25 has a 160G boot-up drive currently running Tiger. I would remove the 160G drive from the 1.25 and replace it with my 500G boot-up drive from my 867. Is this possible? Would I create some issues if I try?
