[QUOTE="bmcgonag, post: 401282, member: 29816"] On my macbook pro i connect the external USB drive. Use disk utility to partition the disk as Mac Journaled. I then use Carbon Copy Cloner to clone the internal hard drive to the external hard drive. I do not set it to change the external drive as the boot drive. Once complete, leave the external connected, reboot, and when it restarts hold down the option key, you will eventually be asked which volume to boot from. You will notice a longer boot time from the USB, but not by much, and most of the apps run fine once booted. Brian [/QUOTE]
