[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1242296, member: 56379"] Ok...understandable. Referring to my earlier post. I don't think you can do a "restore" from a HD (your 250gig) that wasn't a backup to start with. I think that what you have to do with your 1000gig drive is: 1. Boot your Mac Pro from your OS install disk 2. Format the 1000 gig drive with Disk Utility (Mac OS extended - Journaled) 3. Install the OS 4. Reboot the computer from the newly formatted & OS installed 1000gig HD 5. Install the programs/applications you use onto the 1000gig drive (you may still be able to run many of them from the 250 gig drive depending on each applications serial number/registration) 6 If you're only going to keep the 1000 gig drive in the Mac Pro...then you would have to copy over (manually) all the files you need. Another option is trying to use "Migration Assistant" (after step #4)...this would help with "migrating" apps. & files. I haven't used it very much...so I'm not sure how well it works.
