I have a dual 1.42ghz firewire800 mirror drive door g4 Powermac.
I am getting low on hard drive space (my work involves alot of large multimedia files) and am curious what the maximum hard drive capacity is for macs with 48bit addressing.
I currently have two 120GB hard drives on the ATA100 bus, and one 250gb on the ata66 bus, with a normal 48x cdrom and a superdrive on the ata33 bus (why did apple use ata33 in the days of 2003??).
I was wondering if I could throw a 500gb or larger in the ata66 bus, or better yet- replace my boot drive with the large drive and move the boot drive (one of the 120gb ata100s) onto the ata66 bus. I dont want to have to do a fresh OS install however, how hard would it be to "clone" my boot drive onto the larger drive (without particianing it)?
