A bad scene for my HD

Download Cocktail 2.1 from VersionTracker or MacUpdate and update the prebinding - that seems to help with processor usage. Mine drops considerably after I run that, which I do after every major install.

That may help the jumpy mouse thing.
 
Reading the thread gives me hope that maybe someone here knows the right way to clone my boot drive to a new, external Firewire drive, so that I can use it as a bootdrive.

My puny 40 GB bootdrive is pretty near full, and when I used Carbon Copy Cloner everything that was supposed to happen did, but I can't boot from the drive. The bootdrive simply stalls and I get a kind of kernel panic message that says something about the passwd file not being there.

I have the exact message on another post, and don't recall it right now.

Help would be much appreciated.
