This developed because I successfully cloned my Snow Leopard partition onto an upgraded hard drive in my 08 mbp. I used the Erase/Restore functions in Disk Utility, which allow only one Source and Destination.
This means that I could not simultaneously clone the Bootcamp WinXP partition from my old hard drive.
Here's the problem:
If I use DU to create a partition and then try the same Source-Destination Restore that cloned my Snow Leopard, I get an error message: Restore Failure, Source image volume size is not an exact multiple of 1 MiB. I understand from other posts that this is a problem with Snow Leopard and no attempts to adjust the partition size will eliminate the error.
If instead I use Bootcamp to create the partition, hoping to install XP from my install disk and add my files, Snow Leopard will not support installation of XP or read my XP disk.
Winclone, another option people mention, is discontinued.
I would like to continue running XP if possible. Any other ideas besides spending the ridiculous $$ microsoft wants for Win7?
Thanks!
