Re: To clone a disk...

One caveat is that you will also erase the target disk.

Have fun.

A more obvious caveat is that you'll have to find Disk Copy 6.4 somewhere, and I don't believe it's really legal to obtain a copy of this program as it's not released. Anyway, that's all I'll say since I had a HUGE argument with GadgetLover over this (which I have to say I won, because it was NOT in the Developer Tools -- sorry GadgetLover, I just HAD to take a potshot ).

And yes, people have correctly corrected me on my statement that you do need a 6-pin to 6-pin FireWire cable. Sorry about that. I just meant to say that you didn't need a cable that carries power over the cord. Maybe someone could clarify this -- are there different kinds of 6-pin to 6-pin FW cords, some that carry power and some that don't? Also, is there a 4-pin to 6-pin FW cable adapter?
