New Not sure if this achieves goal ?

Goal is create a new bootable disk (30GB split into 7.5GB & 20+GB) from an existing 12GB disk (which is divided into two disks, a OS9.x disk and an OSX disk).

Once done, remove the 12GB & replace it with the 'cloned' but larger 30GB).

If I were to follow the suggested approach, would dragging & dropping from the 12GB disk (the current bootable one in the iBook) result in a new bootable disk that can replace it.

Cheers

Doug

New Dragging and dropping
If you drag the System Folder to the new disk, it will be bootable but in OS 9 only.

For OS X, however, it doesn't work that way.

I'm sure I've heard those last 3 lines in an unsavoury movie.
