How to clone my disk to a new SSD

Hi, communities,

My hardware: Apple Mac Book Pro (mid-2009), El Capitan running and an airport Time Capsule 3 TB (with Active Time Machine).

I want to replace my HARD drive. It's easy to find out how to replace it in your Mac Book Pro, but it is much more difficult to find the best way to clone my new SSD HARD drive.

So my question is: what is the best way and the easiest to clone my disk for my new SSD.

Hope you can help out me. Most of the information I found was really old.

Thank you and best regards

Install the SSD in a closed enclosure and connect it to your MBP via USB.

Open disk utility > delete and format the SSD to Mac OS extended (journaled).

You need a third party application cloning.  I recommend Carbon Copy Cloner:

Run the application of cloning.  It will ask you if you want to copy the recovery partition.  Do.


When you have finished the transfer of data/OSX, start the MBP with the OPTION key down.  Select the SSD drive and if it starts the MBP, make the transition with the HARD drive internal.  (You can install the HARD drive in case you used for cloning)

Ciao.

  • How to clone hard drive in a new ssd

    Looking to clone a Crucial SSD before removing the original internal HD.  What is the most effective way to clone and what equipment is required?

    You will need an external enclosure to put it and plug it in and you can use Carbon Copy Cloner to clone. It's free for 30 days. It is advisable to change the internal connecting cable while you have the HARD drive on but until you fit the SSD.

  • How to clone my original HD a new HD with OS Win7 simular to?

    Operating system: Win7 Home Premium (64-bit)

    Cell phone: HPG61

    Due to the strange behavior of your internal 500 GB hard drive, I tried to clone the drive to a new one (the same make and model). When I want to restore the image to the new HD, I have problems during the start-up of the PC (I should have a look which are several issues but I think it was something with license). What is the correct procedure to clone an OS original official sort of Win7 on a new hard drive? If this does not work, how can I do to install a clean Windows 7 on the new HDD without having to buy a new OS?

    Have you tried builtin Imaging window in Control Panel to create the Image of the system? You also need the system repair disc made in the application of boot from the restore.

    If all images require a license key, use the one of the sticker at the bottom of your laptop.

    BTW, if your tile is always legible & intact, it might be appropriate to cover with transparent tape. Many owners report damage to the sticker of license after awhile.

  • How to install Windows 7 on a new SSD, Dell Windows 7 DVD

    I have a new SSD for my workstation Precision 7510.  I need to install windows 7 on it from the DVD provided by Dell.  The DVD has no drivers and so when I try and install, I get a message about "the installation media does contain not all drivers" and the installation will not allow me to continue.  Keep in mind that my new SSD has no partition recovery or in fact any partition.  I have a drivers Cab file and I also have this unpacked on a USB key, but it does not appear as a disk when I "Browse".  Neither the new SSD - t - there no partitions...

    Do I need to format the SSD drive first?

    Could someone tell me where I can get the drivers and all that forms, they must be in?  In other words, I need to burn it to a DVD, and what would the structure of directory?  Do I have to download all the drivers separately - there are a number of EXEs on the support site, or can I use the Dell Enterprise site CAB file?

    I tried various things now since a few days and I'm losing my grip on reality :)

    Thanks in advance.

  • How to use the recovery with a new ssd disk after the death of original hard drive

    I thought I had a simple fix/upgrade for my dv5 - 2077cl.

    decided to replace the defective hard drive with an SSD. couldn't afford a 240 GB size but it's big enough for my needs.

    I installed the new drive easily and cycled through my 4 recovery disc reinstall the minimum overlap. After you delete the last record, the screen goes gray and there is a cursor in the top left corner for more than 10 hours.

    I finally it turned off and tried again two times the same results. I removed the DDI and run disk management on it from my other laptop and an external cable to remove the partiion and create a single partition. Tried to install windows xp on a disk that I own this isn't an update or restore disc thinking I might switch to windows 7 32 bit because I own and upgrade the disks also. even if it is a 64-bit system, but I do not have any disk 64-bit except the recovery disks that didn't seem to work.

    When I ran the xp it seemed to work but then I got the blue screen that said there is no drivers for the SDS (the error is as follows stop0x0000007B (0xF78D2524, 0XC0000034, 0x00000000, 0x00000000))

    So I guess I need to have a windows 7 install disk rather than the recovery discs?

    the SSD is a Silicon Power S70 240 GB.

    any suggestions?

    Recovery discs usually require a hard drive of equal or greater capacity. XP doesn't have SATA drivers Sockets.

    If you can read the Microsoft Windows 7 of 25-character license key, you can download a Windows 7 ISO file to burn to a DVD or USB flash drive. The version must match that's installed on your PC as shown on the sticker COST Microsoft fixed on the bottom of the laptop. Like Windows Home Premium.

  • Re: Portégé R700 - how to install Windows 7 on new SSD?

    Hello!

    I want to change my HDD in Toshiba Portege R700 to SSD. How to install Windows 7 on this new SSD? I don't have any Windows installation disc.

    Or that it will be possible to move the partition of the old HDD to new SSD (using Acronis, I could move the partition on the new HARD drive)?

    I've heard of partition offset and this SSD block should be the same as FAT cluster (the same alignment).

    All advice? (I know should I defragment my HARD drive before moving :))

    Hey Buddy,

    > I do not have any Windows installation disc.
    Create the Toshiba recovery disc as mentioned in the manual of the user before you exchange the disc, then you have a Setup disk. The Toshiba recovery disc will restore parameters of the box with all the drivers and tools. It can be used on each disc and how many times you want.

    After this change the drive and start the Toshiba recovery disc. Follow the instructions on the screen and everything will be installed.

    Check this box!

  • How to change the Satellite L670D-103 using new SSD 80 GB HARD drive?

    Hello

    I have a Satellite L670D-103 with a 320 GB HARD drive running at 5400 RPM which is too slow for me.

    So I plan to change this factory by a new SSD HDD to increase the performance of the overall system :)

    But as the SSD are expensive, I have only a 80 GB SSD.

    I built the recovery on a USB media and I want to use it to restore my system to the new SSD (I previously did the space needed to ensure that all data can be stored on my new SSD 80 GB space; p)

    Retrieving SSD partitioning new procedure is done without error, but when copying image to restore data to freshly created the partition, one not enough space error stop the process!

    It seems that the recovery procedure is possible on a hard drive that is equal or superior to the original size of the disk (320 gb).

    So, how can I restore mysystem on my new SSD?

    Thank you
    Stéphane.

    > It seems that the recovery procedure is possible on a hard drive that is equal or superior to the original size of the disk (320 gb)

    To my knowledge, you have different recovery options:

    (* 1) * recovery of factory default software

    (a) recovery to out of box state
    (b) recovery without changing the HARD drive partitions
    (c) recovery of a custom size partition

    (* 2) * "erase the HARD drive.

    I think that if you choose factory default software recovery of-> recovery to out of box state then the recovery would create exactly the same size of partition on the new SSD which were available on the 320 GB HARD drive.
    I think this might be the reason why you have received this message.

    Perhaps you need to choose the 3rd option Recovery on a custom size partition

    What do you think?

  • How to migrate Office persistent link clones of workstations for the new data store

    Hello. We have clones of persistent link to view running in the environment from our view. We need to migrate these desktops to new storage. Rebalancing is out as this will include a refresh operation - destroy anything and everything installed in c:\ of the user. Is there a method to migrate Desktop clone link persistent to a new data store, while keeping the office in the same exact state (i.e. c:\ is not updated).

    Thank you

    Never say impossible. I came across the solution when I read the article by Duncan Epping:

    http://www.yellow-bricks.com/2012/03/15/Dr-of-view-persistent-linked-clone-desktops/

    I have that for my situation. Basically, replicate data from view in the new storage warehouses. Set up data warehouses replicated without re-signing with the cluster of ESXi. Turn the power off and unsubscribe the vCenter view workstations. Save the workstations from the data store replicated/mounted to vCenter and power over desktop computers.

    VCenter, nothing dramatic has happened if she sees just as vm being unregistered and re-recorded activity from the same exact data store (the same UUID). View Admin is happy because he sees just the events as desktop computers that have been turned off and then subsequently in reverse. Nothing has changed regarding the database to view ADAM, we still use the same data warehouses.

    I have already tested before for a scenario of View DR, and he succeeded. Between remembering who and Duncan's article helped me to adapt the same process for this. Nothing is impossible

So, how to install Windows 7 Pro, my laptop while all the DVD sets are in Windows 8 Pro?

    I found the solution.

    Response to question 1; using a recovery & backup software to clone my current operating system, and then transfer them to my new hard drive.

    Response to question 2; Download all drivers and software (all the application that located on the DVD of the kit I have) on the official website of Lenovo.

    or another solution, send to a computer service shop and let the experts (workers) install it for me (the most simple and sure way).
