I believe that if you're using OSX Leopard, you can use 'Time Machine' to back up your entire disk.  

Despite my griping about Apple, they do have some really cool features.

Thanks for that link, much appreciated...

Looks a lot quicker than going through the whole install/update procedure once again...

Cheers

I tried making a backup with "Time Machine" but upon checking the back up there were almost 30,000 files missing compared to the amount of files on the original HD/Partition...

Seems mostly a lot of the actual OSX files are not created in the backup with "Time Machine" and I can't figure out how to get it to back up everything (especially the OS X files)...

I'll give the_leanders tip a try and see how that goes, should get the new HD tomorrow so it's gonna be a long day no matter what, just opening up the monitors case on this thing to replace the HD is murder not to mention trying to remove the LCD panel without damaging it... fun and games eh...

Use carbon copy cloner or disk utility to clone the drive.

(I am amused by how far this thread has veered off topic)

Couldn't agree with you more, until last summer when I finally went on the net I was blissfully unaware that certain so called Amiga users spent most of their time on these forums talking about everything else other than the Amiga...

I've tried to inject a bit of humour into things especially when it's got nothing to do with the Amiga but I've noticed more & more that certain folk round here a just a bunch of humourless greetin faced gits who seem to like nothing better than to moan and gripe about my posts cos it's dumbing down their claptrap about Apple & the like...

Sad thing is most of these moaning faced farts don't have anything useful or even interesting to say whether their posts are Amiga or non Amiga related...

Reckon myself they're just frustrated sad little turds, who no-one in the real world will listen to so they come here to spout their venom in the sad belief that the rest of us actually care or even agree with them...

To be honest I do like the fact that they are so dumb as to keep complaining about my posts and not using the ignore feature here that it's kinda became a new hobby for me winding the morons up and watching them constantly post complaints, give me a good laugh that does...

Anywhoo... just to inject a bit of irony here, anyone know how long an HD in an iMac should last, mines is only about 7 months old and it's failing with some message about "SMART failure occurring"... ruddy poxy piece of crApple junk... :angry:

PS:Gonna put together my own video for youtube from certain post's here and title it "Whats The Amiga Got To Do With An Amiga Forum"... just need a nice wee theme tune to go along with it... any suggestions...

Franko, you ever come down to the West Country I wanna buy you a drink! :pint:

Was this moving a little fast to read, or am I that slow?

I had to use the pause button a lot too

As soon as Franko! Could do with a friendly local Retrobright lesson, while having a couple of beers.......

I posted a film video on YouTube, from 2002, called "50 Views of the Amiga's Impact". This is a collection of comments about the Amiga's impact, set to music. See here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fAIrfLUXBF4

Boooring. At that time this kind of movie could be done about other systems as well. Take a look where for example Windows is right now and where Amiga is..

Phrases, empty phrases. And let's face it - it was 9 years ago, when Amiga wasn't more than nearly nothing.

I never understood what possesses people to do stuff like this.

You see it on youtube all the time.

Dave Haynie is a great celebrity and engineer from the Amiga’s past and he should be thanked for all that he did for the platform. I’m not sure he holds much relevance for the Amiga today since he has not done anything current or even kept up with developments? If he had been the one to develop or assist in creating Minimeg or NatAmi or AmigaOS 4.x . then maybe. Sometimes you have to hand off the torch to new blood. Of course his opinion in all things Amiga is always welcome if he gets up to speed with current developments. Even better if he started creating new Amiga hardware & software.
