Hi
this might be a very stupid question but here we go.
When two SCSI HD's, are connected to my GS and I'm in the finder, when I
drag my boot partition to another partition of the same size the finder
does a full block copy for me, both partitions will be exactly identical.
When the partitions are of different sizes then I need to select all the
folders in the Boot partition and drag them to the other partition.
Is it then possible to boot from this new partiton? or do I need to install
System 6.0 again?
I'm trying to increase the size of my Boot partition, I copy it to my other
HD, and then remove the original from the SCSI chain and boot, but I'm
getting a lot of errors, and it doesn't boot.
System is : GS rom01, 2Meg Ram, TWGS 8/32, Apple SCSI card.
any ideas???
