Thanks all. I ran out of time trying to resolve the problems before FedEX came.
I will use
Carbon Copy to avoid this in the future. Some of the backups (on either a
external drive or
to disk) I made in the past are okay, others look like either the file is no
good or the drives
cannot read the disk and eject them.
I was able to make a disk image of the Mac Mini using the network cables, the
firewire port
would not let me start up in Target disk mode. After I used the Disk utility to
erase the HD,
I tried to use disk utility to restore from a disk image but the image is
greyed out and
cannot be selected. Anyone have this problem? Does that sound like the image is
corrupted?
Thanks again

Transitioning from a PPC to a Intel Mac...
The computer I have must be returned. The replacement does not ship
until the old one is in transit. Besides the logic board problems, the
optical drive does not work so I cannot burn to disk or Start up from
the disk. I did a disk image of the Harddrive but I am not sure how
this will work. The Mac I am returning is a PPC and the replacement is
a Intel. Tips, tricks, or any advice to avoid data loss?
Long time ago I switched from OS 9 to a new Mac with Panther or the
first Tiger OS. When I set my Studio MX back up I had lost a lot of
the details, (sign in to server, folder locations). Many of my videos
were also corrupted or unable to play. I just did a search for
{macromedia + studio + MX + backup + data} but not finding what I
think I need. Is there a better search term? Or what (application
specific support data?) files do I need to pay special attention to?
Last question after this explaination - I also coppied my entire User
folder, the Hard drive's System and Library folder to a external HD.
However not all data would copy and I have no idea which files. The
messege that I got was along the lines of the file cannot be copied I
do not have the privilage. I was in Admin and had to enter the
authorization password, it just did not allow some files to be copied.
I recieved three of those alerts. Maybe they are locked?
Because I cannot start up from system disks is this normal, that is,
some files are in use and could not be copied for that reason? Or is
this a wrinkle with the logic board acting hinky?
