gspiese Posted July 22, 2002 Report Share Posted July 22, 2002 As a test I tried to clone the drive on my DP G4 running OSX 10.1.5 to my Powerbook. First I installed OSX and all updates on the Powerbook. Next I did a Restore Entire Disk to the Powerbook while booted into OSX. After the Restore is complete I see tons of errors in the log. All are -43 File not found errors. When I reboot the Powerbook it starts to boot then I get the blue screen then nothing. When I boot into single user mode and run fsck -y it says the drive is fine. Is what I am trying to do even possible? If it is what am I doing wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmyJ Posted July 26, 2002 Report Share Posted July 26, 2002 It is almost impossible to restore the entire system of one computer to a completely different computer and have it be bootable. The two computers have different sets of hardware, and systems extensions. Your other computer may have different requirements for proper booting and operation. In identical computers there is a much higher possibility of success. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
