[QUOTE="AudioApe, post: 1646149, member: 321801"] Good luck, indeed. That will be needed. I put the drive from the G3 in today as a slave. It has two partitions, Larry and Curly (Moe and Shemp are still in the G3.) On boot Larry mounted, Curly didn't. Disc Utility couldn't repair or mount Curly, so I re-started using the 10.3.9 system on Larry. Curly mounted, but still couldn't be repaired or imaged. Carbon Copy Cloner locked up trying to back up Curly. The disc itself reports as good, but something is wrong with the catalog tree for Curly. The good news is that I have an OS 9.2 system folder on an external, and preferences offers the system on Curly as a startup volume. I think this G4 will boot into OS 9 if a I can get a viable system on it. FWIW: This is a dual 800MHz Quick Silver. [/QUOTE]
