Jun 3, 2012I have a broken MBP that wont boot, repair is too expensive so I will be buying a new one. I plan on changing out the hard drive (because it has 500 GB capacity) and also the ram (total of 6 GB's) and putting them into my new notebook of the same year and model. However I am curious: if there is a problem with one of these components (hard drive, ram) is there a chance that it can infect the new computer? I don't know much about computers in this regard and I don't want to transfer and issue from my old MBP (Which repairer's said could be a bad video graphic card but they are not sure).Â

View 2 Replies View RelatedMacBook :: Installing New Internal Hard Drive, Safely Clone The Existing BOOTCAMP Partition?
Jul 4, 2012I have a 13 inch Aluminum Late 2008 MacBook. Processor 2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, Memory 4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3, Software Mac OS X Lion 10.7.4 (11E53). Currently I have a 160 GB SATA disk as my hard drive a d 4 GB of memory. (Is it time to upgrade or what?) I recently bought a Western Digital 1 TB internal hard drive to replace my exisiting internal hard drive. I spent a lot of time last night trying to first- connect this new hard drive to my computer so that I can then clone the existing hard drive and then hoping that I would get that done so I could install the new hard drive. No such luck.Â
My current hard drive is partitioned as follows:Â
Name:Â Macintosh HD
Format: Mac OS Extended (journaled)
Size: 132.5 GBÂ
Name:Â BOOTCAMP
Format: Windows NT File System (NTFS)
Size: 26.69 GBÂ
When I was partitioning the new drive I did so as follows:Â
Name: Macintosh HD
Format: Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
Size: 973.51 GBÂ
Name:Â BOOTCAMP
Format: MS-DOS (FAT) --- This was the only option that I was given that I thought would work. I did not have the option of "Windows NT File System (NTFS) to choose from. Question # 1: is that going to be a problem? I only run 1 program on Windows and that is the only reason I have BOOTCAMP on there at all. However, I do HAVE to have that program. Like I said it didn't give me the option to choose Windows so I didn't know where to go with this. Any help with that would be awesome.
Size: 26.34 GB (I just used the same size that was current, or close to it.) I connected the Western Digital 1 TB through an external device, partitioned it as stated above, and then used Carbon Copy Cloner to clone the drives. The first one went through fine. (It took 2 hours and I went to bed before it finished.) This morning I woke to see that it had gone through well. I then started the process with the BOOTCAMP drives. However, before I started it gave me errors stating that I wouldn't be able to run Windows off of the Cloned BOOTCAMP drive. Question #2: Is it because of the Format type I chose when partitioning?

Jun 27, 2012I need to download some other software made by some small companies or individuals, that is not available on the app store, and is not digitally signed. It is not free (price), and is not open source (so I cannot determine all the things it does).If I install the software in a different user account on my mac, will the software still be able to access files in any of my other user accounts ?To install the software it asks for the administrator password.
The software is widely used within a niche market, and so far no one has reported any complaints. But at the same time it is a niche market, and if there is a practice I can follow to safely use this software and not compromise my mac, then I would like to do that.

Jun 9, 2008I've just noticed that in my Finder window sidebar, under "Shared", I have a character called Thomson listed. I don't know any Thomson and I bought the machine, an MBA, brand new. However, I did have an engineer instal the machine in my apartment and can only assume he's the mysterious Thomson. Anyway, whoever he/she is, I don't want him/her on my machine as Shared & "connected as guest". The point is, I cannot find a way to delete Thomson!! Can anyone help? I've tried System Preferences>Security and Accounts and there's no trace of Thomson there. Right clicking on Thomson in the sidebar of Finder only gives me the option to Open and Get Info. Most annoying, this. There MUST be a way to delete a Sharing but totally unwanted guest....
