| Hi.
1)I'd recommend using Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper to backup your current drive contents an 80 GB+ external partition and make the backup bootable. I figure you are backing up to a firewire drive?
2)After backing up, boot from the external drive to make sure you can, check that it's working like the old internal drive.
3)Shutdown, replace the old drive, reboot to the external drive and use Disk Utility to format and partition the new internal drive.
4)Then, use CCC to restore the contents of the external drive to the new internal drive.
5)Once done, shutdown, disconnect the external drive and reboot.
Hope this helps. |
