Another CCC success
Authored by: echo on May 03, '02 04:08:06AM

Using CCC, I just successfully cloned my OS X setup to a VST external FW drive, freshly initialized and partitioned with Disk Utility. I then booted from an OS X 10.1 install CD, re-partitioned my internal HD, booted from the clone, and re-cloned to the internal HD. It went flawlessly, and I was so thrilled, I went running over to Mike's site to give him $.

One note: Starting up from the clone on the FW disk (restart with option key), after being booted from the internal HD, always got a broken folder icon at first, but waiting longer always found the bootable system. Going from booted from the CD to the clone did startup quicker and normally.

I also couldn't use Disk Utility on the FW clone to partition my internal HD, getting a message that the disk was in use, although I had done the same to the FW from the internal. I felt better about doing it from the CD anyway, but that surprised me.

Thanks Mike!
