Here is a suggestion that I believe will be better for you. Have you considered buying a used second HD.
If you do, install it as a slave in your current CPU. Use CCC to clone it. Restart and reboot holding down the option key. When the arrow appears, click on the slave drive and continue the boot process. It should boot your CPU. When it does, shut it down and R&R which ever HD you choose to the other CPU, remembering, if you choose the slave drive to R&R to convert it into a master. Then boot from that other HD. It should work.

Correct? Mira On Sep 23, 1:49 pm, Dan <[email protected]> wrote: > At 11:20 AM -0700 9/23/2009, mkehoe wrote: > > >Bruce & others - > > >I appreciate your comments.
