I'm on a S900 with 2 hard drives. I have a Western 40G hard drive that is partitioned as follows: (1) 10G using OS 8.6; (2) 10G using OS 9.1; (3) 10G which is blank; (4) 10G which is blank. I have my original 2G hard drive using OS 8.6. I am trying to move my files from the OE on partition 1 with OS 8.6 to transfer to OS 9 on partition 2 with no success. If I use the OS 9 partition as my startup disk I get OE WITHOUT my old files & folders. If I use the OS 8.6 partition as the startup disk I get OE showing my old files & folders. I can't figure out how to transfer the files & folders. I'd appreciate any suggestions. Mike ------- It sounds like your original drive is partitioned HFS and your new drive is partitioned HFS+. Is there a file that says "Where did my files and folders go?"? Ordinarily, I would expect the OS 9 to be partitioned HFS+, but this is a choice that has to be specified. Also, I would expect the OS 9 to recognize the HFS files/partition. (Not necessarily so for the 8.6 original. If you do a "Get Info" on the partitions, the box will tell you which file system you are using. I couldn't quite tell which 8.6 volume you were booting from, the original 8.6 2GB or the 'new' 8.6 partition on the 40GB drive? -- SuperMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
