1t Seagate As Boot Drive Or Audio Drive?, Drives for my 2.8 dual quad (January 08) Options

[SadPandas]

I recently changed the hd in my macbook, after a clean install of OSX I then just retored it from my time machine, it was pretty effortless, until I had to then scramble to find my boxes for logic and upgrades so I could re-auth them.

Both yours and ckb's workaround seem like a great idea but i think if i did a clean install leopard. logic and a couple other programs each directing them to the new drives upon installation it might clear out all the other programs i don't want to reinstall or use again as well as the junk files that came with them. Again, i think i might be over thinking this and wanting to over do it i mean how much 'crap' could have accumulated on this box since i got it? I know this can handle all of things i need it to do, in fact i bet i am using a quarter of the machine's capabilities but i still think i will use this as a workstation and my powerbook as my personal computer. The whole dedicated workstation seems a bit obsolete though considering how much more power we have now as apposed to when people were very against even hooking up a rig to the intrawebs.... Anyway, i am talking in circles and defeating my own arguments as to why i shouldn't use this little guy to it's full potential and just clone it using time machine and do the full restore... so, what have we learned? i am confused. that is what we have learned.....

Thanks to all for reading and replying... also, it seems this forum is pretty dead and that is kind of sad... don't ya think? I always found great information here on this forum and lots of really smart folks it is a bummer people seem to be posting less.... sigh*

Thanks again,
