ptnyc Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 Can anybody recommend a procedure for producing a bootable clone from my working 10.6.2 vanilla kernel? I have tried over a dozen times and the copy process always craps out--both with carbon copy cloner and superduper. The only way I've succeeded in making a clone is to remove the hacked boot drive from my hackintosh and use a dock attached to a macbook pro and clone from there to another clean drive. Once this clone is complete, I have to reload the bootloader with chameleon and make the partition active. Then and only then do I have a useable clone. So, does anybody have a method for making the clone directly from the booted drive on a hackintosh?

pdave54 Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 I use CC with no problem. external l drive is partitioned GUID as is my internal. Bootloader on internal is chameleon 2xxx. The bootloader on internal picks up the external, but if you want to pick the external disk as the start disk in bios, you have to loat a bootloader on it. CCC does not copy the hidden partition.Now the copy "craps out".. usually there is an error message???

ptnyc Posted December 1, 2009 Author Share Posted December 1, 2009 pdave54, CCC doesn't really provide much in the log, but the SD log has errors having to do with rsync read problems on certain files or directories. I've had two different types of failed clones: 1) everything seems to go well for 15 or 20 minutes then it gets stuck on 1 file and I have to force quit. And 2) the clone progresses rapidly, like 80% in 10 minutes (56gb!), then when I check the log, I see the rsync read errors and lots of directories skipped. I don't know if I'm having a sleep issue with drives or some issue with the sata bus perhaps. I have tried the destination drive attached as fw800 (via pci-e card) and by esata (via highpoint raid card), and both are equally fail-prone. My board has 2 sets of sata ports: intel and jmicron, and it seems the jmicron are more flakey. But the boot drive is on the first intel sata port and boots and runs fine for everything but cloning. And, I successfully cloned it once attached to my macbook pro. The problem could be my ocz summit ssd drive, but it seems that I can't even clone from a maxtor mechanical sata boot drive (cloned successively from the ssd attached on a macbook pro, albeit with ). After I produce one more clone on my mbp, just to be for sure, I will wipe the ssd and test it. Baring a bad ssd, do you have any ideas?

pdave54 Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 Sorry no. My set up is completely different SFF only on sata drive. I use external USB to IDE external drives as backup CCC have a forum accessible from help menu of CCC.
