![]() The other option, as suggested, is to do a clean install and just use the Migration Assistant to transfer your apps and data. Also, if you had created a new, larger partition AND it was NTFS format, WinClone will expand the old partition to the new BC partition size. I've done this method several times over the last month and it's worked fine. Actually, it will work with FAT32, but you won't have access to the additional space.įinally, use WinClone to restore the image file to the new drive's new BC partition. It needs to be the same size or larger than the old, but larger only works if you had formatted the BC partition as NTFS. Next, use the Apple Boot Camp Assistant to create a new BC partition on the new drive. With the old drive mounted, use WinClone to create an image file of the old BC Partition. If you have a Boot Camp Partition and Windows installed, it can be cloned to the new drive too. You should now be booted on your new drive. Once that's done, you can restart per above. Otherwise, now's the time to swap drives. The startup disk should remain set to the internal, but you can verify and restart from the Startup Disk app. If you already have the new drive installed in the Mac, then just restart. Wait a while (it could easily take an hour or two, depending on how much data is being moved). Disk Utility will ask if you are sure you want to erase the destination. Check the "erase destination" to enable block copy. Drag the old volume to the Source and the new to Destination. Next, use Disk Utility Restore to clone the original to the new drive. If you hadn't done so already, format the new drive with a single partition using GUID map and format as Mac OS Extended (journaled). Boot from your install DVD (or the Mac's restore disk), run Disk Utility, and verify the source disk with First Aid.
