- Mac Pro, 2x2.8 GHz quad core, 16GB RAM, 1 SSD boot disc, 3 2TB hard drives, Logitech sound system
I have MacPro with 2x2.8 quad-core with 4 hard drives, the original OS on a 600GB HD.
I have just bought latest Snow Leopard and when it loaded it told me that the original HD did not have enough room as I had partitioned it to include Windows on Bootcamp. So I loaded Snow Leopard onto one of the 2TB back up discs.
I have lost all items in my itunes library and all items on the desktop which included access to 3 stand alone back up HD's. So I would like to access those items.
Secondly as I now want to get Mountain Lion i could download it onto the 2TB HD, but it occurs to me that if the OS is a stand alone would it be better if I took the old 600GB HD out, put a new 2TB HD in, load the Snow Leopard onto that and use it for all subsequent uploads?
Or could I load Mountain LIon directly onto the new HD?
