BD Aqua and BitterCreek: thank you from the bottom of my heart!

Great to hear, good luck & please let us know the outcome! 🙂

thanks japamac and BDaqua! I have no doubt that ALL of this info and these links will come in handy when my optic drv comes next week.

Thanks, I'm going to do that. It's a pretty massive drive. Lots of space.

Good Luck! 🙂

Thanks, you saved my newbought IMac G5

found out when trying to get to run that someone took the CD/DVD drive out of it.

Now ive got a fresh install on new HD 🙂

Yes, barely.. Just got back from fighting in Ukraine. AZOV Battalion is tough, but they train you and I had to come back for my son. I still have USA Citizenship, but if things in the USA don't change, may go back 🙂

As for my G5, PowerBook G4, etc.. I am just glad to help around here when I can..

And yes, I also used the command "boot ud:,\\:tbxi and USB works perfectly on the PowerPC Macs. Even the Pismo works this way to boot USB, but slow.

Make a disk image using Disk Utilities of the drive you want to transfer. Then use that image to create the other drive.

For setting up a bootable FW drive, OSX requires extended journaled.

I know its been awhile, but your welcome.. I am going to try and stay on the forums, just busy now and no time.

Hey, you're alive & well! 😀
