Hi,

trying to help my mat out with his laptop. Disk is small and full. Sadly I used to using Linux and Windows and not Mac Os. I have mounted the new drive in a caddy and conncted it. Now jsut need to kow a good way to copy the entire thing to the new drive and make it bootable.

IF it was Linux I would jsut dump the file system and in windows I would use symnatec but I have been told this isn't good for Mac's.

Anyone suggest anything.
 
So will ChronoSync.

Both cost money, so if you want a free version, Apple's own Disk Utility (included with Mac OS X) will do exactly that as well (albeit with an extra step).
 
He wants free so he want the program Carbon Copy Cloner. If you like it drop the developer a few bucks. For a XP/Vista BootCamp partition use in the Mac the donationware program WinClone.

On the Mac side if you "Bless" a cloned drive from Firewire connection you can boot the Mac with it. That is one thing Windows cannot do.
