Bought new macbook Pro with full software suites( Cs4, Final Cut 2, Office etc) no CDs. Can I transfer these to new Hackintosh install from external hard drive cloned without CD copies?? Solutions appreciated.

Yes, you can. Install OS X to Hack. Then rebooting after install be sure to connect an external drive with all the stuff. After watching the intro, proceed to selecting keyboard etc. Then on "Do you already own a Mac" window, under "Would you like to transfer your information?" select one of the top 3 options. Depending on how you have made the copy of the mac disk.

thanks, They upgraded the hard drive and gave me the original one in a external case. Can you remember which of the three choices would pertain. Thanks

"From another volume on this Mac" I guess...
