I would be afraid of bringing along any contamination of the last 2 years. I am starting with a brand new system drive and clean installs of OS X, FCS3, CS4, etc. Also replacing drives in bays 2-4 which compose my apple raid card raid.

I am saving my existing system drive and putting it on a shelf. When I say clean install I mean clean – new drive. Thanks

Yeah, I just heard about that. Going straight to 7 will make life much easier…I guess I need to re-read his post.

Really? I bought just the upgrade though – but that would save a lot of work!

OK, the bootable clone is definately now in the plan.
Also, I was not planning on restoring FCS but reinstalling 6, then the 7 upgrade, then download 7.0.1, rather than recovering. In fact I plan fresh installs of all my apps. I am also going to install CS4 instead of CS3.
I am really appreciating this give and take – thank you for taking the time and the interest.
FYI, I have been having a problem with a corrupt project – I finally just finished it – which was the precursor to all my plans. But that’s a whole ‘nother story.
Late breaking – just heard from Boris they think I should wait as there are issues with BCC5 – they are expecting 7.0.2 shortly.
Screws up my plans….

Here’s my plan:
We are not touching the current system drive – I have obtained advanced replacements of all 4 drives from Seagate. My plan is to keep the current system drive, which is backed up regularly w. Time Machine on a shelf for at least 2 weeks before I send it back – and probably make a disc image for safekeeping. The Raid – bays 2-4 will be formatted RAID 0 – I need speed, not redundancy as I back up compulsively – my system drive to TM and my Raid to externals using Prosoft Backup. I have only one project in progress right now, for which I will save an XML and I have the P2 material on Blu Ray and the P2 to QT files in my external backup.
I am posting on OSX, Boris, FCP, AJA Kona and a few other boards.
I welcome any input – any more steps I should consider?
I know my duel apapter wont work w. SL but I use that w. my MBP which will remain 10.5.8.
Best regards and thanks for your advice!!!!!!

I’m off to read the post, but wanted to mention my Raid is an internal apple raid card and bays 2-4, so I have assumed no issues there. Assumed……
