[QUOTE="ankhseeker, post: 1636811, member: 329103"] I have been reading some threads here and still have a few questions. I have a MBP (see specs aside) I recently bought CCC, an external hd and case for it. I installed the HD in the case, connected the USB and made a clone of the mavericks 10.9.5 that runs on this machine. I also saw where you guys talk about making a bootable USB device. I bought an 8gb also. ( I do have the OSX installer downloaded. Is diskmaker the $20 program one I want? 1.) If the hd in my MBP were to fail, I could just swap out the hd's from the enclosure to the mbp but would it boot? Do I need that thumb drive or does CCC do it all? The external disk and the internal one are the same size. (500gb). I just want to have all my ducks in a row before that day comes. I also have another external that I use for time machine volumes/backups. Thanks! Not sure where to place this thread. Change if necessary please. [/QUOTE]
