[QUOTE="shahid, post: 127828"] [b]How to create a 'cloned' image on existing partition to transfer onto new HDD?[/b] Hi folks New Mac user here, just a couple of quick simple question for you experts. I'd like to be able to create an image or restore CD of some kind that would enable me to copy/install it to a new HDD. This would ultimately help to save time & effort of installing all the programs which i currently have installed & enjoy using on my existing OS X Tiger partition on my 30gb HDD. I am thinking of upgrading the 30gb HDD in my ibook to possibly 60gb, hence my reasons for wanting to create some kind of cloned image on CD, which i could then use to install my already configured operating system on this 30gb HDD i'm currently using & transfer onto the new 60gb HDD. Therefore i have two questions please: 1. Is this even possible? using either a CD or even an external HDD? 2. If it is possible, how & where should i begin? which software should i use? Hope what i've written has made sense, if anyone has done this before i'd be interested in hearing about your experience & the process :doctor: Thanks Shahid [/QUOTE]
