Do I need to initilize the second drive? If so how ?
You need to start over.
1) Boot OS 10.3.9 and run Disk Utility>Verify Disk and then Repair
Permissions. If the Verify Disk has problems, you'll need to boot your
Panther 10.3 Install CD and use Disk Utility to Repair Disk. Once the
disk is verified or repaired, and the permissions are correct, go to
step two.
2) While booted in OS 10.3.9 go to Disk Utility and initialize the new
HD again. You'll want it to be HFS+ (extended) and if you're going to
clone OS 9 or use OS 9 you'll need to check the additional box "add OS
9 drivers". Your new HD likely has a PC partition format "Master Boot
Record" so you'll need to change this to "Apple Partition Map" before
initializing. This is one of the most important things, and is likely
your problem now.
3) Get the last version of CCC to work with Panther 10.3.9 and use it
to clone over to the new HD. This should hopefully work without issues.
You might also want to consider upgrading to Tiger 10.4 with a clean
installation on the new HD, and then use Migration Assistant to
migrate everything for your old 10.3.9 over to a clean 10.4 System.
Migration Assistant was introduced at the 10.3.5 Install DVD, so it's
possible to use it with 10.3, but it's not present in the Retail 10.3
CD, only 10.3.5 and newer DVDs. I find that clean installations using
Migration Assistant are generally better than pure clones, but it's
really not that big of deal unless you're upgrading a version such as
from Panther to Tiger.
