[QUOTE="techiesteve, post: 1487493, member: 98520"] After cloning your hard drive, verify the clone by rebooting holding down the ALT key. You will then see your internal hard drive, it's recovery partition and your external cloned drive. Select the cloned drive. It should boot, check all is OK. When your hard drive is replaced, do the same as above, booting from the cloned drive. Launch Carbon Copy Cloner, select the cloned drive as the source and the new drive as the destination, clone the recovery partition back, then the cloned drive. [/QUOTE]
