[QUOTE="monkeyman, post: 79559"] Hi. I have two macs at work. One is a Cobalt G4 (450 Mhz, CD-R) and one is a Quicksilver G4 (Dual Processor, Combi Drive). Both are dual boot with OS9.2 and Panther. I need to switch these machines around for reasons of updating. Is it possible to do a simple swap with the hard drives, or will some aspect of the OS be machine specific and not function in the other machine? I'm not sure if this is a hardware or OS question, so I'll cross post it in both and apologies if this is in the wrong section. Any help would be much appreciated as I really need to do this tomorrow. I am hoping I won't need to do a complete install on both machines. Thanks matt [/QUOTE]
