Hello again,

My next question concerns putting a new hard disk into an iMac G3 400
MHz SE. I've purchased a 120GB Seagate drive and when I replaced the
battery backup recently it looked like an easy job to replace the hard
disk. The problem is cloning the contents of the current hard disk (11GB
in size I think). I'm planning to use Carbon Copy Cloner to copy the old
hard disk onto my iBook drive into a blank HFS disk image. I can't test
this theory because the iMac is in Worcestershire and the iBook is in
Southampton. Will this work? I've had a read of the CCC manual and I
think it will but I'm unsure. I don't have a external firewire case to
put the new hard disk in which would of made the job easier.

Another concern is, I guess I'll be able to either start the iMac using
a CD or in firewire target mode to partition the new drive, anyone know
if this is true?

I think getting the data back onto the new hard disk will be the easy
part of the whole process.


Thanks once again for your help,


Jimbob
