![]() Because this thread was so useful I thought I'd share a list of steps I (complete novice at this stuff) went through. ![]() I have just upgraded my HD on my MacBook Pro A1226, on which I run bootcamp with win XP. I don't know much about Bootcamp, so any input will be appreciated! But the new drive still has the FAT partition, ready for a transfer. Is there a way to transfer either both partitions together, or at least the just the NTFS partition? I was able to transfer the OS X partition successfully and install the new drive into the computer. ![]() However, the "Restore" was instantaneous, indicating that Disk Utility in fact did nothing. Disk Utility, on the other hand, let me partition the new drive into two partitions (one GUID_PARTITION_SCHEME and one FAT), and even "Restore" the XP NTFS partition from the old drive to the new drive's FAT partition. ![]() SuperDuper did not allow me to choose the XP partition at all from the "Source" menu. I tried to use both SuperDuper and Disk Utility to transfer over the XP partition neither of them worked correctly. He runs Bootcamp on his computer, and has both an OS X Leopard and Windows XP partition on his old drive. I helped out my friend last week with installing a new 500GB drive on his MBP 15".
