This is more a "why does it work this way" question.
I set up my Dell Optiplex 755 with it's stock 80 gig drive. It's working fine except for an occasional KP during boot, but a restart takes care of that.
However, 80 gigs is just kinda tiny. so I cloned the drive to a 350 gig I had lying around. I swapped the drives, but the computer wouldn't start up.
I put in the iBoot cd, and it booted, and recognized the hard drive, so I selected it, and the mac system started just fine.
I rebooted, and same thing, no start, used iboot. worked fine.
SO, I ran the easybeast installer, and afterwards, the DellMac started up just fine without iBoot.
WHAT I'm wondering is why did I need to reinstall EasyBeast? Wouldn't it have been there already because of the cloning process? (I used carbon copy cloner, btw)
