I know the card slot supports hooking up any ATA compatible HD (need the apprpriate drivers to operate it, of course), so I was thinking all I might need is power, somehow. OK, suppose I pull it from the PB and plug it into my G4 tower as a secondary drive. What will happen when I boot the G4. Will it know it isn't the startup drive? What if I rename the HD in my PB, then do the above? Would that prevent the G4 from mistakingly booting it as the startup drive? If that would work, then I can pull the CD ribbon and plug the newer drive into it and use Disk Copy to drop the old drive onto it, right?
