[QUOTE="fifthmanstandin, post: 350525, member: 28508"] yeah, I spent the past four hours with that guy on AIM getting live help from him, it goes like this: the disk erases fine, the reformat will not for some god aweful reason work we tried three different ways eventually we got the carbon copy cloner program and actually used the target computer as the "external firewire hardrive" and copied my whole system onto his in backup style. the only problem is that it did it as an odd partition and when you start it up the computer says it has no OS and that it needs a boot disc, however if you hold option the "untitled" partition icon shows up and will boot to OS X....the catch is that absolutely none of the applications work whatsoever, they all have superimposed black questionmarks on them like some sign of evil omniscience protruding from the screen, even the system preference program won't work. So I'm talking to him and some other people about starting it up in target disk mode again and copying the apps folder into the partition. But ideally I'd get this to be the main volume, because it seems that it boots automatically to whatever unholy empty void that resides on the other side of that partition. There's also some odd random folders that are on the target computer that are not on mine in the hardrive dis window. I dunno, any ideas? [/QUOTE]
