I'm trying to move my complete OSx86 installation to a larger hard drive. There's plenty of discussion in the forum about this, but no definitive procedure that works for all users. I've tried both Carbon Copy Cloner and the restore function on Disc Utility, but both produce unbootable disks with a b0 error.

I have a native installation of 10.4.3 that works fine. Just need more hard disc space.

Thanks for the help.

if you have a raid controller on your system, setup a raid 1 setup. This is raid-mirror. This will low level copy hd1 to hd2. The downside is it will copy the partion map and i dont know if there is a way to expand it in OSX easily. I use this method to backup windows.

I think the B0 error can be fixed by typing the following lines in the terminal where "VOLUMENAME" is the lable for your new mac drive. You must have the disk cloned already since this just fixes the boot error. The first command is long (starts iwth bless and and ends with bootx.bootinfo.

Bless the System:
sudo bless -folder /Volumes/VOLUMENAME/System/Library/CoreServices -bootinfo /usr/standalone/ppc/bootx.bootinfo

sudo bless -folder9 /Volumes/VOLUMENAME/System\ Folder -setBoot
