Hi,

I need to resize my leopard partition

So i want to backup the drive on another one then resize my original disc & restore the backup on it once done.

I tried yesterday to backup the partition with Carbon Copy on an external drive then i restored it on a free partition of my ORIGINAL hard drive.

But the new restored partition loose many software registrations ( ableton live for ex )

I don t want to loose my software reg each time i restore my ghost ( i can t ask for a new code each time i restore my computer )


Anyone have a way to make a full drive backup witohut loosing any software reg ?

I will always use the same drive to restore my backup ( i ll just use another drive to store the backup )


I m also interested on a way to resize my leopard partition without loosing any data.


Thanks for your answers

Ok i found that there s no way to make a clone without loosing my Ableton registration

I finished resizing my leopard parition

Worked perfectly

I just used the - button to remove my free partition then enlarged my leopard partiton using the cursor

Hope this helps someoene
