[QUOTE="Slydude, post: 1149227, member: 131855"] No need for another for another program. Do just as you suggested launch Cloner and choose the external drive as the source and internal drive as destination. I don't recall for sure you may have to format the new internal drive first in order for Cloner to "see" it. That's easily done with Disk Utility. BTW you could also perform the restoration within Disk Utility by going to the "Restore" tab once the new drive is formatted. Same rules apply for choosing source and destination drives. One other suggestion before you remove the existing drive. Boot from the "clone" on your external drive and open a program or two just to be sure everything's OK. I've only had a cloning operation fail once and didn't discover it until I really needed it. [/QUOTE]
