Howdy all,
Is it advisable to use leopards disk utility to repair a drive with
tiger installed on it, or is that likely to mess things up on the
tiger volume?
Backstory is that I'm visiting my grandmother who has an iMac g3
running tiger, and I thought I'd run through onyx's maintenance stuff
while I'm here and it says to boot from the install disk to repair
the hard drive, but I'm sans install disk, but do have my PowerBook
with me, which is running leopard. I figured I'd boot the iMac into
target disk mode and repair it from the PowerBook, but slightly
concerned about the different os versions.
Using Disk Repair should be fine. But don't try Repair Permissions that
way, that will mess things up.
