Re: Copy file using 1 drive?

[limtc <thyechean@gmail.com>]

Right now I don't have a 2nd drive. I see how to do it now - the trick
is to eject without making System Disk disappeared. I think can simply
choose the Eject menu in Finder.

Won't it be faster this way: 1) Eject the System Disk, 2) Copy files
from source disk to RAM disk, 3) Put back the System Disk and copy
files from RAM disk to System Disk? This won't need multiple swaps.
