williedigital Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 I've used ccc on real mac's to transfer one installation over to another (usually by booting into firewire target disk mode), but is the same thing possible with 0sx86 boxes? I've heard that ccc "works", but will x86 machines update their hardware appropriately without forcing a reinstall (i'm moving from a celeron d to p4, different mobo, but pretty much same chipset, etc). moving from one mac to another this works, but i'm not sure with ccc and an osx86 box. just dont want to have to reinstall all my stuff, etc. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/3659-using-carbon-copy-cloner-to-transfer-systems/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
macgirl Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 I used Disk Utility Create image and restore, also I used ditto in terminal to copy my disks.

urig-herb Posted October 20, 2005 Share Posted October 20, 2005 I used Disk Utility Create image and restore, also I used ditto in terminal to copy my disks. Does this also work with multiple partitions? I didn't see the options in Disk Utility to restore whole disks (only partitions). I used Acronis True Image on my windows partition to clone my disk. Worked perfectly! Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/3659-using-carbon-copy-cloner-to-transfer-systems/#findComment-23257 Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, only partitions/volumes, but dd can.
