DavidinCT Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 Hi ! I am rebuilding my computer, and I am mainly a Windows person just due to the apps I need for work. My 10.5.5 install is on a partition on one of my drives. I would like to move my install of 10.5.5 to a new drive, so can format the old drive to reuse for something else. Is there a tool built in or external to "clone" a OSX install to another drive ?

tomazzzi Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 Yes carbon copy is the best tool to use But be carefull if i remember well it doesn t copy the bootloader part ( MBR ) so you ll need to boot with an install dvd or a bootloader cd ( boot123 ) Hope this helps Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/128082-can-i-move-my-install-to-a-new-drive/#findComment-906897 Share on other sites More sharing options...
