[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1230559, member: 46727"] The only way to make the larger drive bootable and use it as your primary is to install OS X on it from your original media or clone from the other drive. Since you wish to keep all your data intact, that's going to require an additional drive to use as backup. You should be backing your data anyway so now might be a good time to invest in a large external drive. They're certainly reasonably priced. [/QUOTE]
