[QUOTE="Noels, post: 689547, member: 49942"] pyrotech, You're correct, use Disk Utility for the prep. There you can partition the drive into 3 partitions. Format the first and second parttiton with Mac OS Extended (Journaled) and the third for Studio with the same NTFS or FAT32 (not sure what Studio uses). For the bootable backup on partition 1, download and use SuperDuper - it will make the backup bootable as default - it's free for that use or $27.95 for full use with scheduling. Get it here: [url]http://www.shirt-pocket.com/SuperDuper/SuperDuperDescription.html[/url] Then on partition 2, you can use it however you want for Mac files. As for the cloning on SuperDuper, it will take care of it all and will give you an exact clone of your Mac hard drive. Sorry, not familiar with CCC, but I know lots of folks here do use it. Did I miss anything? Noel [/QUOTE]
