[QUOTE="Vlad, post: 340404, member: 27908"] I guess I'm not a good communicator. I was trying to say and I didn't make it clear, I guess. Is that once you use one of the 3 options I mentioned the g4 will see that drive as being proper and will allow you to use it as your master drive if you wish. Then you can leave your old drive in if you wish and use it as a slave drive or you can remove it. Or you can switch back and forth as often as you want. Partitioning was the first choice of the guy I talked to. It is also the cheapest way to go. If you reformat the 250 gig drive and partition it to 120gig max partitions, you can then clone your original to it . Then your g4 will recognize it as a master when you start from it. You will be able to receive your email on the new drive as long as it is the start up drive. My wife always says that I'm the only one that knows what I'm saying. I hope she is wrong. I hope I was clear enough, that the only way you will do what you want is to use one of the drive fixes mentioned in the earlier post. [/QUOTE]
