I've purchased a WESTERN DIGITAL Externe hard disk Passport II 2,5" 320 GB USB 2.0 (WDXMS3200TE) and want to use this disk to replace the 160GB disk in my MBP.
Reading on this forum it should not be a problem to do the replacement, but I still have a question concerning the data on the disk. Currently my disk i in two partitions, one for OSX and one for Vista (made with BootCamp).
I want to use Carbon Copy Cloner to copy the OSX partition, but I have no idea how I should handle the Vista partition. Should I first make two partitions on the new disk? Can I also make a clone form the Vista partitin with CCC?
I hope that somebody can give me some guidance here.
Bert

Why don't people ever use Disk Utility's ability to clone volumes? Have a look at this thread here in the Alternative OS section.

1. Use BootCamp to create XP and Mac OSX partitions.
2. Create the PEBart CD (you'll need your XP CD, PE Builder, and DriveImageXML plug in for PE Builder).
3. Use Mac's Disk Utility to partition an external drive (use the option 3 (with DOS) and change the format of the partition(s) where you plan to store XP backup images or any data to DOS).
4. Restart your Mac with the PEBart CD in it, while holding the ALT button pressed. This should bring up 3 options to boot from: Mac OSX, Win XP, and PEBart CD. Boot from PEBart CD (be patient).
5. Run DriveImageXML and select the 'Backup' option. Set C drive as the source drive and the DOS partition as the target drive for the image. Use the compression.
That's it.
To restore the image:
1. Boot your Mac from the PEBart CD, run DriveImageXML, and select 'Restore'.
2. Select the image you've created as the source and the C drive as the target.
