[QUOTE="cherry_bomb, post: 1823235, member: 206606"] Hey there! Thank you for all the tips! Right now my cloned copy is an external SSD. What Patrick had suggested is that I clone my boot drive to the external SSD, make it my boot drive, then wipe out my existing HD and then clone from the SSD back to the HD (that is if I am understanding him correctly). I still plan to install a larger internal SSD, and I guess the thought behind me doing it this way is to see if my current HD needs to be replaced as well because its failing? Can I still follow your instructions above and boot from the external SSD to make sure it works? Then I would move on and clear out the old HD? [/QUOTE]
