[QUOTE="jonnyd, post: 402505, member: 31029"] I have 2 x 160gb disks, and 2 x 250gb disks. The system is on a 250gb disk. I prefer to leave the system disk for apps etc, and use the others for data. It's a waste of space to have the system on a 250gb drive, as even with a bootcamp partition I'm only using 100gb of it. I want to maove the system to one of the 160gb drives, and use the 250 for data. Is there an easier way than reinstalling everything? If I can empty one of the 160s, can I clone the contents of the current system drive and put it on the new one, then get the system to use that (preferable without trashing bootcamp). [edit] Trying carbon copy cloner. Will report back with results . . . [/QUOTE]
