I believe I know the answer, but was hoping for confirmation from a voice or two...
Clone Mac Ssd Boot Camp
Cloning a Mac drive with a boot camp partition. I read on the Acronis site that Acronis True Image 2015 can back up the boot camp partition on Mac. On my Mac OSx 10.10.1 I have a boot camp partition with Windows 7 (64bit). I need to sobstitute my Mac HDD with a new SSD one. Is it possible to clone the HDD using Acronis True Image 2015? Clone Mac with Boot Camp to a new Hard Drive My MacBook Pro has been running out of hard disk space for some time. I’m down to less than 1GB of free space on both my Macintosh HD and the Boot Camp Windows 7 partition. Oct 14, 2016 Macbook - Clone HDD to SSD. Thread needs solution. Hi, Hoping you can help. I cloned my HDD to SSD using Acronis True Image and completed succesfully. However, now the SSD will not detect the Bootcamp partition even though I can see and view files on the Bootcamp partition, I cannot actually boot into this. But when booting SSD in Mac it.
In the box, I have multiple physical drives installed. My primary OSX drive is a 500GB SSD. I also have several 500GB spinning drives (7200 RPM, SATA) installed in the box.
I installed Windows using BootCamp onto one of the 7200RPM SATA drives, with some trial and error, but with ultimate success. Now, I'd like to CLONE that entire drive to a new SSD, in order to speed up the Windows OS.
I was planning to do this through Disk Utility in OSX. My question is: Will this break BootCamp? Or will the machine just simply 'see' the new physical drive as a bootable partition?
Should I use DD in a terminal window instead? Should I use DU from an OSX boot disk? What's the best option for success?
Thanks in advance...
