Cloning Panther & Intel-Tiger to same drive ?

[gbdoc]

OK, Dave. If you say so, I trust it's so. But then what?

Scenario (not yet done, because I don't yet have the hardware in my hands, but this is what I plan to do): I've got a new MacBook, and a FWD which is APM-partitioned, onto which I've cloned (with SD!) the MacBook. As you say, I can boot the MacBook from this clone. Let's assume I have a problem on my MacBook such that I want to clone the FWD back to the MacBook, and I do so (Erase & Clone). Will that back-clone on the MacBook be bootable on the MacBook? It would have to be, for any of this to make practical sense, and I assume your answer to my question took this scenario into consideration. But Apple has a KB article, http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303220, which complicates this whole thing in my mind.

Yes, it will. You'll format the *internal* drive with GUID, and copy the data back.

Duh. My eyes were reading and my fingers were writing, but my mind was apparently not in gear. Thanks for your patience.

No problem at all.

Hello Dave
the author of this article says that Super Duper crashes and he seems to assume that SD is not "MacIntel" compatible at this stage, until an update comes out.
<<I also tried SuperDuper, but that crashed on launch. I suspect I need an Intel-compatible version.>>
http://rentzsch.com/tidbits/intelbas...ncompatibility

and again without any mention of SD this time, this statement
<<Intel-based Macs can't boot from older APM drives>>
http://db.tidbits.com/getbits.acgi?tbart=08405

really confusing when you say that you have tested that to work many times around.
I can't wait to receive my MacBook to check that out

have you been able to do it gbdoc ?
cheers
