Wrong, friendo!

New HD successfully installed yesterday. Spent today making an 8th copy of my files before I reformat the new drive. I'll tackle it tonight.

Please pray I don't have to do a fresh reinstall of everything.

p.s. Joe, it took under an hour and I think only 3 f-words were uttered. Only 1 by me.

See how easy that was. Try it on a white intel mac and your f-word will rise dramatically...before you even get it open.

No thanks. The whole procedure was retarded. I might be selling the iMac back to its original owner. :laugh:

Quote from: Joe on December 16, 2011, 12:43:14 PMYou can boot off of an install DVD, run disk utility and clone the external to the new HD after initializing. Just make sure when you partition it you go into options and select GUID Partition Table. Once it is cloned make sure to change the startup disk to the new HD.

^^ This is what I ended up doing. In Disk Utility there's a tab for Restore and I chose my backup as the source and new HD as destination (obviously). It took about 4 hours and everything appears to be as it was B4 the crash. The only oddities were that my desktop bg was the default & some Finder icons back to default. No big deal.

Now you can take the test to be verified as "Apple Certified". You'll be a God(ess) at Starbucks!

Woke this morning and still laughing over that mental image!
