Hi all,

I currently have a 50GB hd in my Macbook, but have bought a new 250GB hd.

I need to clone my existing drive to the new, but I have run into a problem... I also run bootcamp and therefore have a windows partition, that nothing seems to be able to copy over? (have tried CC and SuperDoper)...

Is there any program out there that can shift the whole lot?

I have at my disposal, a Sata to USB/Firewire enclosure, and tons of PC's and the like...

Much appreciated..

I believe that Drive Genius will clone the entire drive, but I have only used it on a Mac to Mac transfer. Check it out, it might help.

Weird, works for me. Anyway, the app is called Carbon Copy Cloner.

I recently upgraded my macbook from an 80 GB to 160 GB and used the program called Super Duper.

I have read several reviews and it seems to be the best, here is an article about it.

I used Super Duper and it was able to clone my start up disk including without any issues. I placed the image to my new hard drive and everything was fine. My windows XP on Parallels even worked fine. However, i did not install it on the BootCamp partition.
