From: "Amber R." <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>What do you mean by "overloaded?"
My iMac is overloaded and I am getting multiple crashes and errors. Tried
fsck and the errors keep coming up.
Fsck is not the be-all and end-all of Mac troubleshooting.
I have firewire but these are obviously going to cost more. I would prefer
just to drag all my stuff over to the new hard drive before initializing to
save a lot of time.
Any suggestions ?
Yes. DON'T just drag your stuff over to the new drive -- use Carbon Copy Cloner to be sure you get an EXACT copy, invisible files and all.
As for drives, I hear Maxtor's pretty good these days, as is IBM. I've been told to stay away from Western Digital, but we'll see.
