[QUOTE="harryb2448, post: 909224, member: 42497"] G'day and welcome to the forums. It does help if you provide details of your machine. Minis came in four formats, PowerPC up to 1.5GHz, then Intel and later Intel Solo, Intel Dual Core and Intel 2 Core Duo. If your machine is a PowerPC then firewire is the go for sure. A PowerPC external will only be bootable if formatted to Mac Extended (Journalled) and set up with Apple Partition Map. Then firewire should copy no problems. Apple Mac machines generally are not too responsive with USB, even USB 2. [/QUOTE]
