Please help!
I've upgraded my MacBook Pro's Hard Drive (200Gb) to 750Gb. I bought LION to install on the new Hard drive and then want to transfer SOME data and applications to the new hard drive.
What is the best route I should take to do this?
Thanks

Your Mac's Specs
Mac Mini, i5, SSD & 1TB, 8 GB
Here is what I would do:
Use SuperDuper to make a Bootable back-up of the 200GB HD
Make a DVD or Bootable USB drive with Lion on it and do a clean install
Use the Migration wizard to transfer the Apps and files you want on the new HD from the back-up.

OR

If you have a caddy that you can use for the original HD. You could just remove the original 200GB HD and put it in a caddy and then install the new HD and install Lion on it, then transfer the items you want from the old HD.
