If it's the latter, then I'd format it from scratch. The spinning globe seems to be the drive being copied. I also get the spinning wheel when I try to run disk utility on the drive AND it keeps spinning when I put the cursor over the apple. (The one to be copied TO is one which SuperDuper says it will be automatically formatting if it gets that far so I am not particularly worried about that one)

Then you might be able to get at the internal drive? No, it is a week or three since I posted and now my main problem is that I cant find my PB G4 install disc! Looked EVERYWHERE.
