[QUOTE="Slydude, post: 1404513, member: 131855"] [url=http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1427?viewlocale=en_US]This document[/url] should get you pointed in the right direction. Look at the section on restoring your entire system from Time Machine. I can be done and should work. Basically the process involves booting from either the Lion recovery partition or a Snow Leopard DVD and choosing to restore from Time Machine. If your current installation is running well and you like the setup it should also be possible to "clone" that setup to another drive. For that you would need a drive case of some sort to put the new drive in till cloning is complete. Right now I believe the only software that clones the main and recovery partitions is Carbon Copy Cloner. [/QUOTE]
