Update...this has certainly been an exercise in frustration!If only the damn Lombards would run 10.4 natively!
After failing to get a bootable drive copy using CCC, I used a Pismo to first re format the new hard drive to Mac format (journaled) and then made a recovery copy from that working Pismo's drive to the drive connect via USB. Took many hours, but it appeared to copy successfully.
However, when I install that cloned drive in a Pismo or a Lombard, I get the same thing: chime, grey apple, then a circle with slash - the "NO" symbol. No progress beyond that point.
I am now attempting to boot that Pismo from the CD drive and it is not wanting to mount from my 10.4.6 disk. That may just be a balky CD drive. But c'mon, Apple, throw me a bone here.
Are there some 2.5 drives that just CAN'T be used with a Pismo or Lombard? I am starting to think this project is doomed. This new drive is a 20gb Toshiba, nothing fancy.
