OS X and OS 9 on different hard drives?

macmaniac

Hi to all Mac Geniuses out there!

Here's a question to take your mind off MWNY:

After transfering OS X(including OS 9) to a larger hard drive(int.) via 'Carbon Copy Cloner' and deleting X from the original drive(after switching start-up disk to larger drive), will my machine work as before if I move OS 9 to the original drive?



Also, I get a 'playlist format is not recognized' notice from Windows Media Player(OS X) when I click on a WMP audio link on music e-tailer sites. Any suggestions?



Thanks for your help.

If the Application did what it is supposed to do and no invisible files go left behind, everything should work fine.



I did this a lot (before I ditched OS 9 onto another partition) and they worked <img src="graemlins/smokin.gif" border="0" alt="[Chilling]" />

I've heard from a Senior Apple Systems Engineer that Apple no longer recommends putting OS 9 and X on different drives. They recommended it for using the Public Beta, but now they say there is better performance out of both (including Classic) if you leave them on the same drive. Why? I don't know, but its straight from Apple.

Thanks, guys(gals?). I think I'll wait before doing this.
