I recently installed a 150gb hd on my Powermac. Since most of my data is under my profile I would like to have my profile run from the bigger HD rather than the 80gb that it came with. I'm not just talking about backing stuff up to this hd, I want my profile to reside there. Can I do this?
You would need to have a copy of the OS on it. Use some software like Carbon Copy Cloner to make an exact duplicate of your 80gb HD onto your 150gb drive (repair permissions first, just to make sure there's nothing corrupt). Then go into the system preferences and make the 150 drive your startup disk.
