Q: Kernel Panic While Cloning HDD!!

I don't think so, unless i'm misunderstanding what you're saying. Wait! Yes, it's what pops up when I type in /volumes, but when I choose one of the volumes, it changed to the name of the volume, (Macintosh HD or Macintosh HD)

I can get it to you, but not yet. I'll tell you why. It had another kernel panic. I had been trying to upload the picture to use, and safari just wasn't cooperating. So I decided to download opera, got the right version, was in the middle of downloading, and BOOM! Kernel panic. I had successfully downloaded the WRONG version right before, so I don't think the download was the problem. It hadn't even completed, anyway. The wireless USB adapter was unplugged at the time, so I don't think that was the problem. I read somewhere that faulty RAM can sometimes lead to recurring kernel panics, and I installe new RAM recently, also. Should I remove it?

Would the worst case scenario be that I have to remove the new ram, new drive, and fresh reinstall leopard on the old?

It also had a kernel panic while in safe mode, while I was doing nothing at all, nothing special connected other than speakers, a monitor, and an apple keyboard/mouse . Faulty ram?

Actually, there was a flash drive I was using to get the SECOND kernel panic's info, because I was in safe mode, but that hardly matters, right?

Should I remove the new ram and then download the program and run, or download/run before removing? Im guessing run before removing, but I'm afraid it will KP (thanks for the shortcut) in the middle! Oh well, I'll go for it.

Never mind. Remember said it found an error. Something strange also happened. I have 1.25 GB of ram installed, "About This Mac" backs me up,  but it only searched 930 MB. And found the error. I'm now pretty sure it's the ram that the problem. Was this a one time faulty ram thing, or will it happen even if I return the ram and get a replacement?

Well, I removed the offending RAM and ran Remember again. Although it's not finished yet, (it takes longer than I expected!) it definitly got past what was holding it back before (which was at the very beginning, it's near the end now.) . There's the same occurence of it saying I have less RAM than I do, but maybe that's normal.

Thank you for helping me... AGAIN! I was really worried that I had somehow corrupted both my hard drives by trying to clone the one.. (Again, I'm not a big computer person!)

Ok... How exactly do I do that? And also what exactly should I do for the duplicate aliases thing?

Oh, wait.... Disk Utility? I always forget these things because I'm used to a PC.
