What I'm Staring at Tonight

1. an external hard drive that thinks it's my laptop
2. my laptop with a new hard drive in it, with no Operating System installed
3. the MacMini, our home computer

I need to Clone the external drive (#1) onto the laptop (#2). I have Carbon Copy Cloner installed on the external drive (#1).

Barriers to success: the MacMini only has one Fire Wire port & I only have one Fire Wire cable. The closest second cable is a 180 mile drive to Billings, or a 5 day UPS delivery charge.

It feels like the stupid brain teaser about the goats and the wolves and the chickens that need to be transported to an island on a boat.

Uncle John, please email me... I think I need assistance.
