^^ Hey Ozz,
I read up on CCC and it seemed like it would be perfect for my needs. Which is why I didn't read so much about time machine. CCC can make a bootable copy of the drive with all the applications and such, so that later on if I had issues with the drive, I can simply copy the carbon copy back to the internal drive. At least this is what I gathered from my readings. I don tknow if time machine can do that too? Make a bootable copy?
Hey Moocher - yup I just ran a dvd and did some things here and there. I guess that is as stressful as I can make this machine.
Edit: I guess my goal was to preserve the hdd in the state its in, in case something happens to the internal harddrive down the road. I have a lot of programs on my MBP and not all the discs with me, so I wanted to be sure preserve those somehow too. If time machine can do that, I am reading more!
Thanks guys for the advice! Keep them coming! I am still reading about harddrives.
