Hi Chris, Ethics aside, this is a Really Bad Idea(TM). If you try to select all files in Finder, you won't be able to select the necessary invisible files. It might boot a few times, but you'll regret it. If you drag the disk icon to the drive, you'll get the invisibles it contains, but they won't be at root where they belong. Only an image restore utility [hint, ASR] could get it right, and even then you may be missing necessary components that aren't installed on an iMac. Could you imagine just dragging over the contents of drive with Windows installed to another and expecting it to work? HTH, paul -- Paul F.
