Dave and SD! power users:
I have a PowerBook G4 running OSX 10.4.8 and SuperDuper! 2.1.3 and I want to replace my original 80GB internal hard drive with a new 160GB internal hard drive. I have an external FireWire drive with an 80GB partition for backups that I can use in the process. I reviewed previous posts on this topic and tried to outline all the steps I should take below. I would very much appreciate if you all would look the steps over and let me know if you think I should add, change or remove anything. Hopefully this thread will be helpful to SD! users who attempt hard drive upgrades in the future. Steps: - format external FW hard drive - run utilities on both original internal drive and external FW drive (?) - - Apple Hardware Test? - - Diskwarrior? - - TechToolPro? - - Media Scanner from Intech? - - Other? - use SD! to make bootable copy of original internal drive onto external FW drive - test boot from external FW drive - shut down PowerBook - replace original 80 GB internal hard drive with new 160 GB internal hard drive using instructions from ifixit.com - boot to external FW drive - now running PB off of external FW drive, format newly installed, blank 160GB internal hard drive using Apple Disk Utility - rename new internal hard drive with name of old internal hard drive - run disk utilities on new hard drive to ensure it is good (?) - - Media Scanner from Intech? - - Apple Hardware Test? - - Diskwarrior? - - TechToolPro? - - Other? - use SD! to make bootable copy of external FW drive onto new internal hard drive - shut down PB - disconnect firewire drive - reboot from new internal drive - test to make sure things work - - best way to test?? - rename new internal drive to its own name - - old drive was called PB80-MAIN-EM and new should be called PB160-MAIN-EM Thank you, Erik |
