I just bought a 160GB drive for my iBook and right now I'm running "Carbon Copy cloner" via USB. any problems I should know about? I was thinking once it's done I can take the case apart and install the new drive. But when I started the clone the program told me it won't be a bootable drive due to the USB but I'm not sure if that's because of the USB or not.

G4s and the like require a Firewire drive if you plan on booting from it. Latest macs will boot off of USB drives, not that that is much help for you.
