A larger drive, although on paper slightly faster (we are talking 1 second or less) -- would be lost since your connection is already slower than the drive you just bought. You are running 10.6.8? There no recovery partition. Didnt happen until 10.10? Maybe 10.9? Re: Preparing SSD for Cloning - JEBB - 01-18-2015 abnegates I've never encountered that word before! Re: Preparing SSD for Cloning - Black - 01-18-2015 Sounds like Super Duper is the problem here. How would you end up with close to 400 GB on the BMB? No, don't order a bigger drive-- ought to be easy to make this work. Re: Preparing SSD for Cloning - silvarios - 01-18-2015 jdc wrote: 10.7.

Clean up your existing HD, i.e. throw out duplicates and other of your unnecessary files, etc., safe boot, restart normally, repair permissions, empty Trash, and restart once more for good luck 2. mount the new SSD, and using Disk Utility, partition the SSD into a 1 partition drive to create a Mac OS Extended (journaled) filesystem using the GUID option 3. confirm that the space used on the internal HD is less than the space available on the SSD (this information is available directly in Disk Utility) 4. use Disk Utility to "restore" the internal HD to the external SSD or better still, use Carbon Copy Cloner to make a full bootable clone of the HD to the SSD 5. validate the new clone by starting the computer up on the external 6. install the clone SSD in the system and have a ball That's all.

I'm stuck on 10.7 with this old hardware so that's why the experience is so fresh in my mind. Re: Preparing SSD for Cloning - Microman - 01-19-2015 I searched and it was TIME MACHINE making the problem. Turned TIME MACHINE on and off and problem went away. I guess I turned it on, without having the Time Machine Drive hooked up. and this is the discussion or link, that solved it. https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4467217 |
