[QUOTE="Aptmunich, post: 799733, member: 3850"] Yes. Restart the intel Mac (or shut it off and turn it back on) and press and hold the "T" key immediately after you hear the chime (before you see the Apple logo!). Doing so will put the machine in firewire "Target" disk mode. Basically that means that any drives connected to it (including the internal disc drive) will be shared over the firewire connection. Nothing will happen to your data though. Nah, take your time. Do the intel Mac bit first, then switch on your G4 and hold down the "option" key. The CD should appear on the screen and you can then boot into the regular installer. That should also work. However, if moving files is the only reason you're going to pick up the external drive, I'd point out that you can also easily move files over your network if both Macs are connected via ethernet or wirelessly to the same network.
