From one of your other posts

From one of your replies to another post last year:


That leaves B. Not quite sure why you're running SD! off a flash drive, but that's what I'd try. But there's also Plan D:

- Get a FireWire case that would normally work as a boot drive
- Install Tiger or Leopard, clean, to the external
- When prompted to "migrate from another Mac", point it at the internal drive. That'll bring in your files and applications and avoid copying the OS, so at least you'd be copying a minimal amount of data
****

That was for a Power PC, but even though I'm on intel Leopard, could I install Leopard to my existing FW external, then migrate everything from the internal, including all programs?

Then install the new 750GB internal, and restore?
