I'm in pretty much the same position and stumbled upon SuperDuper as the solution (well, I meant to use it AFTER the upgrade for backups, but hey!)
So, the important thing is that I can effectively clone the contents of my drive (ripping the 80 gig out of my PowerBook and putting in a 160 gig) but I wonder if I'm being rash, or plain old crazy, if I start by ripping out the old drive, replacing it with the new one, putting the old one in a FW enclosure and THEN cloning the drive? Seems to eliminate one step from the job, but well... if I physically damage the old drive I'm up a certain creek sans paddle. |

Well, exactly. But it should work.

Thanks! Actually, by writing things out I started getting second thoughts. I wouldn't lose anything really, well no important data, but thinking about the bill for attempting to rescue a disk I've botched is sweat inducing.
Perhaps my flash of lunacy will get others to go the sane way |
