Hi Jef, Yeah, of course, you can partition an external FW drive any way you like. Some older macs cannot boot from FW drives, but most new ones have no trouble doing so. As for your Finale registration, though, AFAIK it resides on the computer, not the drive -- so you will still have to

Well, the registration itself _resides_ on the HD. Where else would it. But it _checks_ the Ethernet MAC address. I do actually know this for a fact, as it has caused problems with my configuration. I think now MakeMusic sends you an email after you register, with a response code, so you don't

You are right. But I would not keep working with a 10 Gb hard disk that is probably 4 years old. I´d replace the internal one with a new one _and_ would buy an external firewire equal or greater than the internal. And well, the hassle of the jumpers is not that big when you consider what you

I don't actually recommend installing a second internal HD if you intend to use it primarily as a backup drive (to replace those infernal ZIP disks). Internal ATA drives are slightly cheaper than an external FireWire drive, but *much* less convenient for transferring files between computers

Well, the original idea was to install OS X on the new drive. For that purpose I think an internal IDE drive would indeed be better suited. Naturally if the drive is intended for backup a Firewire external is much better suited. Johannes On 27.07.2004 23:40 Uhr, Darcy James Argue wrote I

Jef, Fercrissakes, dump the Zip drive and get an external FW hard drive for backups. I just got a *160 GB* FW drive (far more room than I know what to do with -- yet) for $150. Backing up to Zip disk in this day and age is almost as bad -- and as unreliable -- as backing up to floppies. -
