Thanks Kris/ Bruce but I don't make sense of your response - Perhaps I
didn't explain clearly.
I have a normally working Hard Drive "A" (28.51 GB) and a second Hard
Drive "B" (19.3 GB) both connected internally on a G$ Sawtooth. Both "A"
and "B" appear as hard drive images on the DeskTop - the GET INFO command
on "A" and on "B" indicates identical ownership and permission details .
At this time "B" appears to contain ONLY a sparse image file of what
Carbon Copy Clone produced with "A" as source and "B" as target. I don't
recall moving that file from desktop to "B" -- in any case the desktop
version is stil there
With "A" for startup, Disk Utility First Aid applied to "B" currently
offers prompt to verify disl or to repair disk
Nothing about permissions
- maybe because the only VISIBLE file is the sparseimage file resulting
from CCC.{ I do NOT find DiskImageMounter in my setup}

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.
[I SAY After Booting "A" - disk utility shows nothing about permission-
I've also booted from my Mac OSX Update CD - and DU still sees no
"permission" pprompts.]
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.
[Please specify - You say initialize - is that the same as "erase" ?]
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.
[ Just checking - I use CCC 2.3 as the last version ... ]
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.
Bruce sez
You have your CCC setup wrong, and are cloning it to a disk image, rather
than the disk. You cannot boot from the disk image, but you can restore
from
it.
[ As far as I can
see I am cloning to a disk not to an image . The ccc target prompt gives
me no choice , ]
Go back through the CCC setup and help files.
You'll want to re-format the new disk just to clear things away.
[ As far a I know I can use DU to erase ( re-erase ? ) "B" - I say
reerase vecause I think my clone problem started after I erased whatwas
originally a mac-formatted jard Drive the first
time
