There are several ways to go. Simplest, and probably the cheapest is to put a new drive inside. Clone the old one to the new one. Then reinitialize the old one and use it as a bootable backup after cloning the OS and any other stuff back to it. Better is to buy an external, bootable Firewire or USB-2 hard drive. Clone the old one to it. Replace the old one with a new, internal hard drive, clone back to the new one. Now you have a nice backup external drive too. A variation on the above is to buy a naked hard drive without a case. Buy an external case to put it in. Clone to the external. Remove the new drive from the case and exchange it with the old internal drive. Now you have invested in one hard drive and the case, and you now have a bootable, external drive, using the old one.

Re: Upgrading a bootable drive...
I'm about to upgrade my bootable drive and could use some guidelines as to what was the easiest method to use... Assuming you are replacing one external, bootable drive with another, is one or are both Firewire only, one or both USB only? is one both Firewire and USB? Which and how many Firewire and USB jacks are on the computer? What OS? The original question has to be the definition of vague. Perhaps when more info is provided a reasonable response can be given. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
