Hi, i am writing today to see if i can save my early 2008 model G5. It has been making some really straining noises recently.
I have 2- 500gb hard drives and would like to clear one of them off completely. I want to save these files on my 3TB seagate external hard drive (which i currently have set up as a back up through time machine)
Essentially my question is; Do i have to reformat my external HD to not be a back up for my computer? or is there a way to wipe my internal drive and keep the files already on my external?
Also, not being extremely computer savvy, any tips to keep my ol' g5 running would be appreciated.
Thanks!
