Hi Dave,
I am wanting to purchase a new internal (system) hard drive for my early 2008 Mac Pro.
I understand the process I should follow goes sorta like this:
1) Install the new HD in an empty bay in the Mac Pro.
2) Partition the new HD as explained in the Frequently Asked Questions.
3) Use Super Duper to copy the existing system HD to the new HD.
4) Re-name the new HD and shut down.
5) Remove both the old and new HD's and reinstall the new HD in the bay where the old system HD was.
6) Power up and cross my fingers.
Am I even close?
Many thanks,
Stan
