[QUOTE="Queensgate555, post: 1503817, member: 293407"] I have a MPB (2.53 GHz Intel) with 4 GB RAM; I am running OS X ver.10.6.8. with a 120 GB drive that has 101 GB of free space. I am new to the Mac World but, for what it is worth, I am Comp TIA A+ Certified (that and $5 bucks might get me a cup of coffee at StarBucks).;P If, I was working on a PC, I could use my GHOST program to boot to a DOS environment and then clone the second drive but, I must admit that I am lost (still RTFM) making the transition from PC to Mac. So, all my associate had lying around was a 120 GB HD after he pulled his personal HD out before giving me his "Old" MPB. :Blushing: I have a 320 GB (still sealed in box) HD that I want install in my MPB. I also have an external USB SATA Hard Drive fixture. Just to test it, I inserted a 80 Gig HD in the fixture and plugged it into my MPB and clicked on Time Machine and, the computer asked if I wanted to start Time Machine; I selected "Later" and bailed with the knowledge that I had all the hardware that I needed. Now, how do I transfer the OS from the HD in the computer to the one in the USB holder? . Submitted from: My Windows Vista Desktop. [/QUOTE]
