[QUOTE="jgdels3, post: 1230523, member: 200644"] I have a G5 tower, with two internal drives. I use one as a partitioned drive (for ProTools sessions/iTunes music/misc storage). The original drive of the computer is still running the OS. I just realized that my larger storage drive is newer and 2x faster. SO can I switch the OS to the newer drive for better performance? What is the best way to make the switch? I unfortunately do not have any space/external drives to back up what's on either drive. I was hoping to keep all data in tact. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. -JD [/QUOTE]
