ok - a difficult question
I want to upgrade to panther but I want a clean install - and at the same time want to keep jaguar running on my external drive - just in case.
This is what I have done so far:
1. I have an external 160gb hardrive that I have partitioned into two drives - lets call them extdrive1 and extdrive2.
2. I installed panther onto extdrive1 - works great have booted directly from this without any problems
3. While running panther from my extdrive1 - tried to copy my internal drive contents onto extdrive2 - this is my native jaguar drive. I looked for a disk copy program on my panther - but could not find anything like that. So I just went to the finder and pressed the option key while dragging the internal drive icon onto the extdrive2 icon. It did copy - it's all there - but it is not recognized as a bootable disk?!?
Problem
I can't get the jaguar to boot up as a separate operting system. It won't show up in the startup disk under system preferances!
Questions:
1. Why can't I get extdrive2 to show up as a separte bootable drive
2. If I do get it to boot - them my plan is erase my internal hardrive and load up panther on this drive. Is there a place that tells me what files I should copy over from extdrive2(jaguar) to panther so that I may keep my settings for example addressbook, iphoto etc..
Oh by the way - before emarking on this adventure - I made a backup using the backup utility to a DVD of my addressbook, iphoto, safari settings etc. Would this be sufficient to recover my setting for panther?
