Hiya ~
But I need to have a bootable external drive to create a bootable
system, correct? This I do not yet have.
I would prolly actually have to seek out such, since there weren't any

Any Firewire drive and I'm pretty sure with your Mac, any USB drive is

It's one of those weeks. On m'fav Smurf, the built-in firewire is
dead. And now my fw/usb card has fried. (I think a shorted usb

No need for an additional set of partitions.

To recap the storage requirement, our needs are modest, no massive
photo or video files. Our most valuable data is in genealogy and
narrative files which do not take much space. The iMac is holding

Thank you Dan, this brings me a lot closer to a decision.

Hi Dan,
Thanks for the advice. I know about aliases, have been working with
Macs for 18 years. The question marks aside the apps themselves don't
work when I open them in ther real folders.
My disks seem to be fine. Sorry I couldn't learn anything new this
time. What does input/output error
