Hi folks:

I'm looking for help in essentially what the subject says.  I have a
Beige Desktop G3 which I just upgraded with a Sonnet Encore, and added
RAM.  Now I am trying to upgrade the hard drive.  The kicker, however,
is that I have both OS9 and OS X 10.2 on there, and I no longer have
the media for either.

This article  (http://www.xlr8yourmac.com/G3-Zone/IDE/) seems to
indicate that I would need to create two partitions in the new drive,
and that I'd need to do a fresh install of OS 10.2 into that first
(smaller than 8GB !) partition.  Then I could clone the old OS 9
partition into the new drive.

Of course, I can't do the former, as I don't have the media for 10.2.
I have 10.4, but that would mean I'd need XPostFacto in there, and I'd
rather do that after the hard drive upgrade.

Does anyone have any ideas as to how this may be accomplished?  Do I
just try to hunt down someone with the old 10.2 CDs?

Best Regards:

-carlos rodriguez
