Hi,
I recently cloned my hard drive os x 10.5.8 powerbook G4/1ghz to an
external firewire drive, in order to partition the drive and install
OS X 10.4 on 1 partition and OS X 10.5 on the other. All went well
except I cannot clone back from firewire to powerbook as I get an
error message from ccc " install tool cannot be found please restart"
I restarted and got the same message. How can I clone from firewire
to powerbook?
Thanks, Les

Disk Utility in 10.5.8 should have had "non-destructive partitioning"
where you could have added a new partition to your HD without harming
the original 10.5.8 partition. It would have been better to simply add
a new partition, and then install 10.4.11 onto it without cloning
necessary (except for emergency backup).
It's not clear what you're doing now? Are you booted in 10.4.11? Does
the Firewire drive boot on the PowerBook when you hold the Option key
and select it? Was the Firewire drive properly formatted and
initialized for a PPC Mac, meaning the partition format is "Apple
Partition Format" and the file system is "HFS+ w/journalling"? If the
Firewire HD is partitioned as "Master Boot Record" or "GUID" it won't
boot on a PPC Mac.
What's the EXACT error message from CCC? CCC log file? If your System
software is fully updated, try again with a clean download of CCC,
there shouldn't be any major issues like you're having, CCC is a
mature product without huge issues like you're having, UNLESS
something is amiss with your Firewire HD?
