Just got a 2005 eMac! (Nice machine) :-) Currently have a USB 2.0 eMac with the 2005's Tiger install on it. The only thing that I could not get to work right on the USB eMac w/ the 2005's Tiger install was the fast user switching, which is not much of a problem as my wife uses it mainly, only I keep an account on it to administer it and maintain it.
The USB eMac has a 3 partitions on it: 1 mainly empty, 2nd w/10.3.9 on it - (and I need to do some data salvaging from it), and the 3rd with Tiger (Main boot volume) Anyway, where do I begin this tedious job? I own a data backup license, but I read Alsoft is better for cloning. I also have a 500 GB WD drive I can use to install or migrate the OS for the 2005 the USB has a 500 GB in it too. I'm perplexed as I have so, so much stuff to go through and a lot of it I can probably delete after I review it. Most of the data is pretty well organized into folders, yet I have not for the most part used sub-folders to make organizing easier. I should have enough extra HDs to migrate everything from the USB eMac. The 2005 eMac only has a 80 GB HD. So, I guess I'll take it out for the other 500 GB WD and use the 80 GB for data saving. I hope this isn't confusing, but I'm confused as to what to do first. Please help me with some tips on this big job. How long could this take? -Mike -- You received this message because you are a member of the iMac Group, a group for those using Apple iMacs and eMacs.
