Moving Logic samples to second drive?

I would like to move my 'EXS Factory Samples', 'Impulse Responses' and ' Ultrabeat Samples' from the HD>Library>Application Support>Logic folder on my boot drive to a second internal drive.
How do I do this?
Can I do this by copying the files to the second drive and placing alieses in the original folder?
Thanks

KEVIN, Major Tom
I'll go you one better:
Here is what I do. I have 2 identical Logic7 systems at home AND at work. Keeping plug-in presets, channel-strip settings etc synch'd on both sytems is a major pain....soooooo (you'll love this)
1) go to :User/Library/ApplicationSupport...Take the folder called "Logic" and copy that to your external drive.
2) Make an alias of the "Logic" folder in ApplicationSupport.
3) Delete the "real" Logic folder in ApplicationSupport
4) Rename the "Logic alias" folder, to "Logic"
that's it.......now, not only do your samples/instruments reside on an external drive, but so do plug-in presets,channelstrips, templates....everything.
For all you professional guys/gals with homestudio and work studios. This is it! totally worx.
I mean how often does it happen that you're at the home-studio.....got this great riff, but you can't load that one channel-strip that resides on the computer at work ?!
It suddenly dawned on me that if I can make an alias of EXSsamples folder, than why not the whole Logic folder? It worx ......So now I have this firewire drive that i take home at night, and the "Logic" folder lives on that. (naturally I have a back-up).....If you don't load Gigs of samples per session (us orchestral guys do), you could actually keep your "Logic" folder on a USB Keychain/Dongle drive, or on one of those new NanoPods...how tech is that;-)
Enjoy

Moving EXS samples to separate drive

I purchased a firewire drive on which to store my EXS samples. I copied two folders to the new drive: EXS Factory Samples and Sampler Instruments. I then made aliases of these two folders and dropped them into the original folders on my MacBook's hard drive. So now when I attempt to choose a sample in the EXS, I see the alias and can choose a sound from it. Okee dokee. Works fine.
However, I didn't trash the original files from the computer's hard drive after I copied them to the new drive. Actually, I tried but was asked to "Authenticate" this decision. I assume that typing my password will allow me to trash the files, but I thought better of it and decided to ask here first. Is there a problem with trashing these files?
Thanks

hi,
after checking all files have been moved properly, yes you can delete the originals.
the reason you need to sign of on them is they are in the administrator domain, not the user.

Moving iPhoto library to a second drive bay on a MacPro

My iPhoto library is 190 GB and I need to move it to an alternate drive bay on my MacPro. I copied (not moved) the library over to the new drive. When I launch iPhoto, it still uses the original iPhoto library on the home drive (even if I launch with Alt iPhoto). I was expecting to be asked in a dialog which library I wanted to point to, but I didn't get a dialog. Is that because it's on a different drive, not just a different folder? Before I delete the original library I want to make sure I have done this properly and iPhoto is pointing to the new drive bay.
Thank you.

When you depress the option (alt) key and launch iPhoto you should get a window showing all of your iPhoto libraries so you can select one - are you not getting this window or does it contain only one library?
TO verify where the library you are using is launch iPhoto and open an event - select a photo and right click (control click) on it and select the show file (or shoe original file) option and see the path to it (I like the column view to do this)
if you find that you do not have a valid iPhoto library on the second drive just quit iPhoto and trash the one you copied to the second drive and drag the iPhoto library as a single entity (just one drag operation) from the pictures folder on the first drive to the second drive and launch iPhoto while depressing the option (alt) key - you should see both libraries not - select the one on the second drive, test it and then you can quit iPhoto and delete the one on the first drive ( I suggest launching iPhoto one more time and verifying that things are good before emptying the trash)

Acquire, display, and write data at 50 samples per second

I have a vi running on a PXI which samples data using two 4220's (all 4 channels) and one 6031 (only 6channels). I am acquiring data at 100 samples per second, but only need to write the data out at 50 samples per second. The data needs to be displayed at a minimum of 10samples per second. The problem is that the VI can not get 50samples per second writen to the file, it writes about 20 to 30samples per second.
I dont know if the issue is displaying the data which is holding up the writing at 50samples per second or if it is something else in the VI. I have moved the writing of the data to the outside of the while loop, but this did not help enough to reach 50samples/sec.
Is it better to change the waveform data types to dynamic waveforms? Would this increase speed of operations?

Galen,
Looking at your vi, I would recommend writing to your file in a different way. The function you are using is actually opening, writing, and then closing the file every time you call it. This greatly increases the amount of resources being used. Take a look at the Cont Acq to Spreadsheet File.vi example and note that the file is only being opened and closed once. The data is being written to the file during execution of the program, and then closed when the app is done running. The example is done in traditional DAQ but you should be able to do something similar with DAQmx. Try this and let me know if it helps.

IMovie can't find events now moved to a new internal drive

I installed a second 1Tbit drive and moved my photos, movies, music and documents from the primary drive to the new drive. I also created alias's for each of these folders.
Although iTunes didn't care about the alias, and Aperture reset it's file location automatically as well - the media browser had a problem. I have the new version of iLife but had not yet opened iPhoto - but when I did it rebuilt it's library and then showed up. Deleting the alias for the photo folder entirely let Aperture show up - but iMovie is whacked. I can see only one simple short event that I had opened immediately after installing iLife - even though this event is no longer on the main drive, it's over on the second drive and "Show in Finder" clearly showed it in the new location.
But all the other events and video files are not visible. I can see them in Finder, and if I click on them I get to see them play just fine. But attempts to import them return an error
Copy Failed
This file could not be copied:
/Volumes/RR-2nd TB/y User Files/Movies/iMovie Projects.localized/Teah ISR Second Year - Larg.m4v
(File not Found)
But the file is most certainly there and the file opens just fine if I click on it. As the alias for the folder seemed to be an issue for Photos, but once deleted Media Browser could indeed see the Aperture library, I have also deleted the alias file for iMovie - no improvement.
I have deleted and let recreate the preferences file - but this only removed the one file I could see.
Both drives are Mac OS Extended (Jorunaled) - and both report no errors.
Trying this and that, iMovie has created a new folder for iMovie Events on the second drive, and if I move things into this they suddenly appear - but not my projects.
I can certainly move the Movie folder back to the main drive, but the intent was to free up space on that drive, and to increase performance by having the application on one drive and the user data on another.
I can't be the only person to ever move the Movie folder - but I can't find any current and helpful info on the matter. I do see that a few others have recently expereinced some issues with external drives and iMovie - might be a similar issue.

You can move Projects and Events to and external drive, but you must move them from within iMovie. If you move them using the Finder, it will make the projects unusable.
I would recommend that you move all projects and events back to your original drive.
Then open iMovie and verify that all is well.
Now, click View/Events by Disk, and you should see your new drive in the Events List on the left.
To move an event, hold the command key while dragging the icon for the event to the icon for the disk in the iMovie Event List.
To move a project, hold down the command key while dragging the Project icon to the icon for the new drive in the Project List.
Doing it this way will preserve the links between your Projects and your Events.

Steps installing SSD as second drive or bay in P775

Hi all,I have toshiba satellite P775 for couple of years and very happy with it. I am pleasantly surprise that it came with an open second drive bay drive. The SSD price has been coming down, so took this opportunity to install SSD as my primary drive and then move my old/existing drive to the second bay. Items needed.1. Installl software that can image disk or partition to my new SSD. I choose freeware, EaseUS Todo backup.2. Get 2.5" Sata SSD drive. My old/existing drive has 2 partitions: one 100GB for OS & apps and the rest is for my data. My SSD drive needs to be bigger than my OS & apps partition so that I don't have to reinstall my software.3. I bought part K000122700 (second hhd cable adapter) from partstore.com for $40 after tax & shipping. It took 2-3 weeks to arrive because it's special order.4. I also need a very very very sharp utility knife. The cable on part K000122700 is a bit short thus I have to cut off a bit of plastics that are in the way. WARNING: may void warranty, and risky...blah blah...5. Screwdriver.6. Window OS CD. Steps:1. Install freeware EaseUS Todo backup.2. Backup my existing/old drive3. Power down PC, remove power plug & remove battery. Open both bay (primary and secondary)4. Add the new hard disk adapter, K000122700. Try to maneuver it to fit into the secondary bay. Figure out what/which plastic are in the way. Protect the cables and board around that area with thick piece of cardboard before removing the bits of plastic casing. Keep the new adapter safe while plastic trimming with sharp utility knife.5. Install the new adapter along with new SSD drive in second bay.6. Close bays, add battery and restart machine.7. Using EaseUS Todo backup, copy the OS, software/apps & settings into new SSD. I kept my data in seperate partition in my old drive. Data stayed with the old drive. More detailed info from google search: http://lifehacker.com/5837543/how-to-migrate-to-a-solid-state-drive-without-reinstalling-windows8. Shutdown machine, unplug power and battery, open both bays.9. Take out old drive and remove the aluminium covering.10. Take out SSD drive and put on the aluminium covering.11. Switch drives. Now my new SSD is in main bay and my old drive is in secondary bay.12. I've also added a bit of filler made of rolled cardboard to secure my secondary drive better. Look at picture.13. Close all covers. Add battery & power.14. When first startup, it'll ask for boot from a windows CD. Then do a repair.15. Remove CD.16. Restart. Now the startup with new SSD. Everything was a fine for me. The tougest part for me was removing the bits of plastics (step 4) because I was afraid of cutting some other cables or board nearby. Step 14 was also scarry because it took some time for the OS disk to do the repair. I also need to unactivate software license (eg: malwarebytes, norton, ....) in my old drive and reactive them in my new SSD. Results:P775-S7100 - 17.3" - Core i5 2450M - Windows 8 Pro with Windows Media Center 64-bit - 6 GB RAM. (I have updated the OS two years ago).I bought PNY Optima SSD 240GB firmware n0530a, not the fastest disk, but it's on sale for $60. Total cost of upgrade is ~$100 (SSD+2nd HD ribbon/adapter). Decent price to pay for all the performance gain with lower run temperature too. Its like getting a brand new machine with lots of horsepower (though with same cpu). Very responsive, faster boot time, faster application launch & load. Disk performance is a bottleneck that can be easily solve with cheap SSD. The toshiba dual bay makes the expansion easy. I use freeware, CrystalDiskMark to test performance. BIG IMPROVEMENT........... Attached are my pictures.

Netlander, First off thank you for taking the time to pen this post about your intall, very imformative. Figured I add my two cents for what it's worth for anybody else thinking about attempting this. I have the P775-S7148. My computer is a couple years old and was overdue for a refresh, figured while I was at it I would do the swap to SSD hard drive. Stuff I ordered:Like you I ordered the little sata/Board/ribbon cable part: K000122700, I also order a second hard drive caddy that comes with 4 screws off of Ebay, and a screw pack for the computer, 500GB Crucial MX200(which comes with Acronis), and a Sata/usb cable. I chose to do the factory refresh, then clone method, easy business. 1. Make a list of all your programs, verication keys etc and gather up all the software you'll want to re-install.2. Back-up all your important files.3. On the P775 hold down 0 when you start the machine and follow the instructions. It'll boot into the Safe Mode screen, select start normally and it will take you to the screen you'll need. follow the instructions.4. Once windows is re-installed, I installed my anti virus, and downloaded Acronis.5. Next I plugged in my new external hard drive into the usb cable and cloned the drive. After that it's standard business of install your software updates etc. Computer Install:1. Unplug power, remove battery.2. Remove the L shaped center panel and the 2nd removalable panel next to it.(At this point I studied the computer case and the little sata board that was ordered and it was obvious this part was meant to be installed in this computer. So instead of cutting plastic I opted to open the case up and install the card properly with two screw from the screw pack I ordered.)3. Remove every screw you see on the bottom of the computer, there's a silver screw underneath the primary hard drive that needs to come out to remove the keyboard. 4. You'll need to remove the keyboard, start by using a thin knife and pri from the outside forward corners closest to the screen it will lift up and pop out.5. Disconnect the touch pad ribbon cable.6. The case just un-snaps from there, easy business. Be gentle though.7. Since you have case open might as well clean your fan and cooling fins, the fan is removed via one screw.8. Once you have the top case open you'll see a small space where this little card you purchased needs to be installed. Route the ribbon cable through the little slot it needs to live in and connect it to the motherboard.9. Ok put your computer back togethor, don't forget to lock the keyboard ribbon cable or all your key will decide not to work very well, yup I screw that up.10. Next install your new hard drive in the new caddy, take your old hard drive an install it into the secondary slot, it locks inplace just as Toshiba designed it, the screw on the hard drive caddy have slots they lock into. No need for spacers, both covers have built in spacers that also prevent the hard drives from moving away from the sata connectors. Your done! Install your software, do the million windows updates, and your golden. My computer runs better than it ever has, this SSD config is the way to go. Love it. Thanks again Netlander for your inspiration! Cheers!

Second Drive Bay Power Port Bad?

I am trying to install a second drive into my PPC G5 but it is not recognized. I realized that the power cable setup for the second SATA drive bay is bad at the port. I plugged the power cable from the First Dive bay into the port on the motherboard for the second Drive Bays power and nothing. It wouldnt boot. I am pretty certain the port for the Second Drive Bay Power is bad on the motherboard. Is there anything I can do other than having this replaced?

I assume you double checked the new drive as working on the known good power port. I have had a DOA from time to time. As the port for the bay comes out of the logic board I would also assume that it would not be worth replacing the logic board (unless you are handy yourself and could spot and fix a micro or a macro crack.
The other possibility is to pull a copy of your machine's service manual and see how the drive power was routed. Which exact PowerMac model is yours? I have a quad and I am pretty sure the power connectors plug into the bottom end of the board. I guess what I am getting at is this. You will want to double check that the board's port itself is bad by testing the PS/s output at the mains. Maybe you will get lucky and find out that the PS is the culprit not hte board as some models of G5/s have PS recalls on them. I have late 2005 and know I have a service manual on mine somewhere on a drive. Other wise Google your board and see how the power is channeled.

Unlinking User folder from second drive

Several years ago, I ran out of space on my 160GB drive and added a second. I found a help thread that told me how to link the Users directory from my system folder so that all user information was on the second drive, but "appeared" to be on the first. A side effect was that the second drive could not be unmounted.
I've reached the stage where both of those drives are now full, and I'm replacing them with one larger drive, and then reusing the second drive as a Final Cut Pro download drive. I've moved the user files from both drives to the new larger one, but I know I need to "undo" what I did years ago, as the user folders are not functioning correctly (they're still pointing to the second drive). I thought I had saved the command, but can't find it. Any thoughts?

A few questions:
is the '[' in front of 'dr' in your third line a typo?
is the semicolon in from of 'users' on the second line a typo? And isn't it 'Users' ?
I see that it is the Users directory you dittoed.
Let me look at what you did.
It is a symbolic link - your last line is "ln -s" which creates a symbolic /Users directory on your main HD but is really the directory on the Gobo.
I believe that you can undo what you did by reversing things, but I am not sure.
Some commands may no longer exist. For example I don't see the 'ditto -rsrcFork' listed, but it looks as if you created a duplicate of your existing /Users, transferred properties to the new /Users and then deleted your original /Users and then recreated a new /Users as a symbolic link to the new on on the other drive.
While I am thinking, you might post this again in the Apple Unix forum where there are many experts who probably know infinitely more than I about this.
Here's the link to our Unix forum:
http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=735
It appears that if you clone your main HD as a bootable clone and then copy the /Users from the other HD onto the clone, it should work. You would have to remove the symbolic link, and then create a new /Users directory and simply copy everything into this new one from the old one.
However, I strongly suggest backing up both HDs before doing anything, since you are tinkering under the hood and any mistake or error is liable to be fatal.
If you don't get an answer in the Unix forum, post back here.
Good Luck.

Moving library from one hard drive to another in same PC

Just to let you all know right from the top that I've been trying to work with Apple's own info on this before coming here, this is the page I've been consulting:
support.apple.com/kb/HT1364
Okay, so here's the background: I just bought a new tower computer and I made sure that there was an empty bay available for a 2nd hard drive. What I wanted to do was move the hard drive from my old computer into this second bay and have it availble (in the near term, before I reformat it) to move data in the new computer from the old drive to the new one.
The second drive was installed, I can read from it and write to it, so there's no problem with that install..it's done and it works.
But I have not been able to find online exactly how to move as much of my previous data (music files, playlists, artwork) as possible from the old drive to the new drive (where I have a fresh install of the newest i-Tunes). On the page referenced above, everything "tracks" right down through Step 8. But at Step 9...I don't see any of that, When I open File > Library I don't see either Organize Library or Consolidate Library. In fact, the only two choices I see after File > Library are Tune On Home Sharing and Get Album Artwork.
So I'm stuck right there. What should I do next to move this info to the new hard drive *and* to a place where iTunes wants to find it? I should be clear here that I do not simply want to *point* iTunes to the old drive and current location of the library, since the goal is to ultimately get everything from that drive that I need and then reformat it.
Any suggestions?
P.S. BTW, the new computer is running Windows 7. My profile shows XP because that was the OS on the old computer.

Thanks so much for the information! I have started following your steps...but might be momentarily hung on one thing:
As I mentioned, I had already done a fresh install of iTunes on the new hard drive. As a result, under Users > Dave > My Music there was already a folder called "iTunes" there. And the folder on my old hard drive that you wanted me to copy -- the one that contained everything (music, artwork, games, etc) -- is also called "iTunes". So I realized I might get an error message with that, about how there's already a folder in that directory with that name, etc..
Since I had only installed the new copy of iTunes and hadn't downloaded anything new or done anything with it, I figured I should probably just uninstall it. Then, after doing that, I copied over all those files and folders...and those copies now reside on the new hard drive. Problem is, I now don't have an app to run.
So...should I have left the new install in place and just put the old "iTunes" folder (and contents) at, say, another level? Or...since I've now copied all those files into the place where I thought iTunes would expect to find them, what would happen if I installed iTunes all over again? Will it know what to do with the iTunes folder now already there?

I have an iMac with 2 internal drives and set-up with multiple user accounts. How do I create a path to store data files on my second drive within an application?

I have an iMac with 2 internal drives and a multiple user account set-up. Hw do I create a path to store data files on the second drive within an application?

This is the Mac mini forum not the iMac forum however...
Applications written for average users like Photoshop, Word, i.e. GUI based applications provide a 'Save' dialog box which while allow selecting second drives or any drive. The dialob box initially shown might be in the simple mode but you just need to click on the triangle to show the full set of options. You should then see the different drive names amongst other options.
If your referring to an application your writing yourself then you need to build a pathname. This can be in one of two styles depending on the programming system your using. This could be a POSIX style path or a Mac style path.
POSIX = /Volumes/volname/foldername
Mac style = Volname:foldername:

Moving Content to External Hard Drive and Using New Computers

Before doing this, I want to make sure I know how to do all of it:
We are going to buy two new laptops, and retire the old one. I want to move all of my iTunes content from the old laptop to an external hard drive attached to an Airport Extreme. I then want to be able to share the content between the two computers. I know how to do this, and plan to move the library data base files to the external hard drive, as well.
However, I also want to be able to continue synching all of the content to the Apple TV. To what should the Apple TV be synched after the content is moved to the external hard-drive and the old computer is replaced by two new computers? How is that done under the circumstances? And, in the meantime, will the Apple TV lose all of its content and need to be re-synched entirely from scratch, or will it continue recognizing the current iTunes library as moved to the external hard drive?
Thanks!

This is an option, although as a note of caution; depending on how regularly you modify your library this could become a little bit of a chore. The option is likely a good one in many cases but not all.
In my own case I considered using an old mac as my media server in the sense mentioned by tmartine. (I do a bit of experimental stuff and need to restart my mac quite often, I also have 5 Apple tv's and a library which is too large to do anything but stream, my family don't take too kindly to my frequent restarts and I find myself waiting until the early hours).
However I also modify my itunes library on a daily basis, I buy quite a bit of stuff and also add my own movies regularly, as well as make several recordings a day through my eyetv, all this new content would need to be manually added to my (server) library (and deleted manually), I felt this would be too many extra things for me to do and so my personal preference is to have my itunes library on my main computer as the primary library.

Artwork no longer shows up after moving media to external hard drive

I recently, and successfully, moved all my media over to a continuously connected external hard drive. Although my media folder and all music, movies, and apps are there, No NEW art work downloads when I buy a new movie or song. I've also noticed that, under the old iTnes folder there are still folders there for Album Artwork/Cache/Download. Should these also be moved over to the new drive or somehow linked in some way?

If you moved the iTunes folder to your external drive, you moved the iTunes library file - iTunes Library.itl, which is in that folder.
You need to tell iTunes where it is, start iTunes with the shift key held down and iTunes should ask you to choose a library.

BitLocker AutoUnlock second drive (after creating a new OS drive image and then encrypting)

Hi
Sorry, not sure which forum to put this question in, so I pick the Security.
I have a question about the Bit Locker autounlock.
I have been using BitLocker on Win7 and Win2008. The autounlock has worked fine. I have two separate disks (c:\ and e:\). Using one USB I can unlock the c:\ and then it will auto unlock the second disk. No problems.
However, I had to create a new OS image, and then re encrypt the c:\ (OS drive). I used the same USB. When the computer boots up, I can manually unlock the e:\, but it will not let me autounlock the e:\. I keep getting the "element
not found" message.
Any help would be appreciative.
Thanks

Thank you for your reply...but that was not what I was looking for.
I understand, and have setup, how to auto unlock the second drive. My question is, does the second disk have to be present when the OS drive is encrypting? Scenario:
Set 1:
Original OS Drive (OOD) - already encrypted
Original Second Drive (OSD) - already encrypted and auto unlocked.
Set 2:
New OS Drive (NOD) - encrypted
Original Second Drive (OSD) - encrypted previously and auto unlocked.
Using Set 2, I have encrypted the NOD, and was able to auto unlock the OSD while it was present. However, since I have multiple OSD's, I then inserted another OSD with the NOD. I am able to unlock this drive, but not able to auto unlock it.
I get the dreaded "Element not Found" message. I am assuming that when the OS drive is encrypting, it somehow attaches to the OSD....therefore it can auto unlock it. If I add another OSD, it will not be able to auto unlock it.
Hope this makes sense. Thanks again.

I have an iMac and I am running out of disc space. I am considering an external drive to house my iTunes library. If I buy a second drive to operate as a back up will time machine back up the disc on the IMac and the external drive with the iTunes library

How to install system 9.1 on second drive of a G4 while running OS 10.5.8 on primary drive

I am Using a G4 OS 10.5.8, trying to install system 9.1 on an erased/reformated disk with system 9 drivers option selected. Can't boot with a 9.1 install disk by holding C key on startup. When booted with sys 10.5.8 attempting to install sys 9 on the reformatted drive yields error "classic functions are no longer supported" no luck just copying the software from the install disk, even though the drive shows up as an available startup drive, it never gets a spinning wheel during startup attempts.
Thinking about reinstalling the original powermac G4 software (there are other partitions or drives available) but trying the path of least resistance first.
Totally open to suggestions

Since you are running OS X 10.5 (Leopard) on that machine, unless you used one of the unsupported install methods your G4 has a processor that is 867MHz or faster (that's one of the requirements for Leopard).
Assuming that is the case, you will never be able to boot the machine to OS 9.1, or to any retail OS 9 Install CD.
The first G4 which met the 867MHz requirement was the QuickSilver '02 model (only the mid and upper speed units); all G4 MDD models meet that requirement.
All of the preceding which are OS 9 bootable (the G4 MDD FW800 model is not OS 9 bootable) can use only the model-specific version of OS 9.2.2 which shipped with them as a bootable OS 9.
The QS '02 models used a stand-alone OS 9.2.2 Install CD, labelled Software Install. Installation of OS 9.2.2 using that is straight-forward - boot the machine to the Software Install CD, and install OS 9.2.2 on the second drive.
The MDD models are a bit different. They came with a combination installer disk, one which booted to OS X but which was capable of also installing OS 9.2.2 (Classic, I think it is referred to in the installer's jargon).
Unfortunately, the installer on those disks seems to have a restriction - it will install OS 9 (Classic) only onto a volume which already has OS X installed on it. So, how to get OS 9-only on the second drive? Two ways -
A) Install OS 9 (Classic) onto the main drive, then copy it via drag-and-drop onto the second volume. Once placed there and tested for booting, remove the install of it placed on the original drive. Be sure to copy the folders named System Folder, Applications (Mac OS 9), and Documents; if there is a free-standing folder named Utilities, copy that too (it often is placed into the Applications (Mac OS 9) folder).
Possible issues -
* since the OS X on the original drive is Leopard, a substantly newer version that that on the OEM disk set, the installer on that disk set may balk at doing this.
• aliases will be broken by copying the system and support files to the second drive. This can include an alias to Sherlock in the Apple Menu Items folder in System Folder and perhaps one or more in the Application Support folder in System Folder. Alises can be repaired - do a Get Info on an alias, and the Get Info window will display a button which can be used to reconnect the alias to the appropriate original.
B) Install OS X (the version on the original install CD set) onto the second drive. Then install OS 9 (Classic) onto that drive. Once it has been tested for booting, throw away the OS X system and files from that drive.
Possible issue - deleting OS X can leave behind some invisible files. Unless you are very short on disk space, these should present no problem and can be ignored - OS 9 will not (can not) attempt to use them.
