I ordered a new Western Digital 250gb drive for my macbook pro, I have os x and xp pro installed on my current drive. Is there a program that will let me copy everything from one drive to the new one? I have enough hardware to hookup the drives anyway necessary (2 externals, 2 internals on a pc whatever), Norton Ghost only does windows, does Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper do both ?

Disk Utility can do this.

You may have problems with the XP partition. Search the Alternative OS forum for discussion about this.

I think Carbon Copy Cloner *might* be able to do this -- or Mike's other program, NetRestore. But I'm not sure it's trivial. And you HAVE to be using the NTFS file system on the Windows partition (won't work with FAT32).
SuperDuper could *not* do this, last I checked.

ok so the drive is in, i used netrestore to move the mac partition back to the laptop, then used boot camp assistant to create a new blank 80gb partition, when i have access to a pc im gonna try putting the mbp in target disk mode and ghosting (norton ghost) the pc partition back to the laptop the same way i did the mac partition only pc instead of mac
FYI - the 250gb WD drive installed w/o problems and does not get any hotter than my old 100gb seagate, speed tests will be run soon.

Cool. 250 gigs is sweet. I'm very enthused about the direction laptop HDD capacities are headed. High capacity, high performance, affordable.

Most of the time I just restore to the third image but sometimes if say apple releases a whole new set of drivers i will revert to the first image and then proceed from there.
