I want to move my Boot Camp partition to a new hard drive, something which I would have used Winclone for in the past. Now it's been discontinued and seems to not work under Snow Leopard I need to find another way. Are there any other programs to complete the same task?
View 21 RepliesI had a 320gb hd drive in my mbp that was running out of space. So I ordered a 750gb drive to replace it. My mbp is partition 25% Mac 75% Windows. I used Carbon Copy to clone the Mac side of the drive to the new drive.Then placed the new drive in the mbp.I then used sys utilities to partitions the new drive 25% Mac & 75% windows. The I downloaded Winclone to the Mac side and attempted to make a image of the old bootcamp partition. I selected to save it to an external drive that is formated for Mac.
About 80% in the Winclone stopped and said Errors Found see logs.Tech support can't figure out why it's not making the image.Then they suggested I turn off the screen saver. So that's where I am not.
I used WinClone to save a Vista backup on my external drive (Mac formatted), removed the Vista partition using Boot Camp, recreated a new partition using Boot Camp, and then attempted to restore my Vista backup using WinClone. (When I recreated a new partition using Boot Camp, I left it as FAT32. I didn't use a Windows CD to change it to NTFS, because I believed WinClone does it for you automatically.) When I tried to restore my backup, WinClone gives me an error message (click on the thumbnail below for full-sized version). I have no idea what went wrong. Can anyone suggest a solution for me please?
View 1 Replies View RelatedSo I had a Macbook with Windows 7 partition (RTM from MSDNAA since I need it for Visual Studio 2008) and I created a backup with Winclone. I got a new MBP 13" and so tried to install the partition from Winclone.. It says that it was restored successfully but when I start up my computer I get BSOD and my computer keeps restarting. (Think its due to hardware change?) I cannot even repair it with the windows 7 cd.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have Windows 7 installed on my mid 2007 MBP and just purchased the new MBP. I used winclone to clone the partition, and transfered it to the new partition on the new MBP.
Everything went smoothly with winclone, but windows fails to launch, it crashed on the load screen and trying to restart pops the windows error screen saying that windows failed to start due to new hardware configuration.
I tried safe mode as well as booting with the disc and selecting repair.
I made an attempt to use Winclone to move Win7 (NTFS, 64-bit) to a new hard drive. After the image was deployed I rebooted. On the new drive,Win7 BSODs - I can't even boot into command line mode as it summarily reboots. The original bootcamp partition boots perfectly, however. I know Winclone was discontinued - assuming other people have used it with Win7 and have not had problems, without having to use Win7's DVD to do a repair install or to - for the moment - delete the original bootcamp partition that I know works, are there any means to fix the boot sector or alleviate this problem? (I think the BCD wants to point to the wrong partition, despite it starting to boot on its own...)
View 3 Replies View RelatedI wanted to move my current version of XP set up on an early 2008 MacBook across to a new silver unibody macbook. I used winclone and the new boot camp partion was fully set up and will boot up fine into the windows log in screen. The only problem is that the keyboard and the trackpad will not work. I'm guessing that when I installed on my old MacBook that it only installed the drivers that I needed and not ones for the new MacBook.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI've got Windows 7 x64 Ultimate installed on my Crucial C300 SSD in the OptiBay drive and have backed up the image using WinClone prior to updating the SSD firmware. When checking the WinClone forums I noted that users have reported they were unable to restore their Boot Camp images to an SSD via WinClone. Some have even bricked their drives and have had to have them replaced.
Has anyone had success with the latest version or should I avoid restoring my WinClone image and perform a clean installation from scratch?
I'm planning on purchasing a new hard drive soon to replace my current MacBook Pro 15" HD. For Mac, I'll be restoring my HD configuration through Time Machine.
I don't really want to reinstall Windows and reinstall all the apps and games on it and do not have a Windows-based imaging program that I could use.
I've heard of an app called WinClone that acts like CCC or SuperDuper and can image and restore the installation for you. However, the development of WinClone has apparently stopped and according to some posts in the MacUpdate link, it is incompatible with Snow Leopard/other users are experiencing problems while using WinClone.
What should I do?
i heard winclone is ideal to backup bootcamp partition. i am currently running Mac OS X 1.4 tiger. winclone 2.x runs only on Mac OS 1.5 & above (leopard) winclone 1.6.6 runs on Mac OS X 1.4 & below (tiger) Currently , all the download site that i go are making winclone 2.0.9 available for download only. i don't seems to be able to find a dowload site for the older winclone 1.6.6 version anymore. which site can i download winclone 1.6.6 (the older version) as this version can run on tiger. But the newest version runs only on leopard
View 4 Replies View RelatedI recently deleted a Winclone backup on my Macintosh HD partition. It says I have 34.69 GB when I really should have 74.78. 40.09 GB difference.
My Partition Capacities:
Macintosh HD - 168.88 GB
Windows 7 - 54.43 GB
Backups - 26 GB
Applications Folder Size - 12.69 GB
My User Folder - 67.65 GB (Don't judge me. =D)
System Folder - 4.63 GB
Library Folder - 9.13
[The total of those is 94.1]
Then that should leave me with 74.78
See the problem? I've tried restarting the computer, but that didn't help.
I recently switched to Mac OS X and love it except for iTunes. I hate the way it encodes tracks and the difficulty it poses in easily accessing one's music library. When I had Windows XP, I used to use foobar2000 or Winamp. I'd love to find something similar for OS X. Is there any alternative to iTunes or should I just resign myself to using this app?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI know that OWC and Transintl both sell kits up to 32GB ram. I was looking to put in 32GB ram in my newly ordered mac pro 2009. I expected the ram prices to be somewhere near the 32GB kit price of the previous mac pros at OWC but they are more then double.
Does anyone know of a brand I could purchase maybe elsewhere (8GB kits) and just get 4 of those requesting they be from the same lot.
Just looking for other alternatives then 2 stores.
I have successfully converted my dad to a Mac and he purchased his first Macbook earlier today. The only program he absolutely needs for work is MS Access. Unfortunately, MS Office for Mac doesn't include MS Access. I have searched the forums and seen a few alternatives with Open Office being a pretty popular (and free!) solution. My question is this, if all my dad needs to do is be able to open MS Access documents and do minor revisions, is Open Office a solution that will meet his needs? Again, all he is really going to be doing is opening MS Access documents and reading their data.

I have been using TextEdit up until now, but have recently realised a few of it's limitations. E.g., I had a file from an app I use that needed to be edited and a small bit of code C+P'd into it. TextEdit opened the file but showed it as a blank file? I downloaded and installed TextWrangler and it worked perfectly. However, I don't really like TextWrangler all that much, and was wondering whether you had any alternatives that you use that are better than TextEdit?

View 7 Replies View RelatedI have been a Mac user for a long time and have always tried to convince my old man from jumping onboard the Mac bandwagon. He tells me that the only reason why he does not get a Mac is because of a specific software that he uses for his business. My father owns his own business and works from home, so he really needs just one computer, and so far, that one computer meets his needs due to the compatibility of the software with his Dell PC.
However, I really want to "update" his XP workstation by getting him a new Mac, but I am afraid it would go unused without this software that he needs for business. Does anyone know of any good alternatives to Floorplan 3d? I am really not that familiar with software for this industry. Here is a link to the software that he uses for his business: [URL]. Also, I am aware that Windows can be installed on a Mac and that is not a solution that I am seeking.

So, I hate the tap to click and I can't stand the unibody trackpad click and drag. I can't seem to keep it depressed and drag across the entire High Res screen. Is there any alternative? Say a key I can hold to lock the click so I don't have to keep the pad depressed?

At first I thought it was my mouse, but it seems to happen with other USB mice as well. Turns out the problem is being caused by USB Overdrive. Seems there is a problem with it and 10.6.x. Turns out that I am not the only one with the problem and no one has heard from the developer of a workaround or patch to fix the problem.

View 21 Replies View RelatedMy wife's been working with Entourage for the past several months as she likes having all of her PIM data integrated in one place. In particular she likes the project view as this lets her see all of the relevant files, emails, notes, tasks and calendar appointments for a specific class (she's in grad school) in one place. Unfortunately she also wants to sync that information to her phone (a Nokia N82), and Entourage does not play nice with sync services. Every time we've tried setting up Entourage to sync with iCal so she can then sync with her phone we've run into a host of problems, including losing all of her calendar appointments and getting a massive number of duplicates.
As such I'm looking for an alternative to Entourage that duplicates the Project view features. The most important items for my wife are email, notes, files and calendar, she wants to be able to go to one place and look at all those items for individual classes. I've looked at Contactizer and Daylight, but both are a bit pricey, complicated and don't cover everything she wants, in particular they seem to lack the ability to look into the contents of a defined folder and track the files in there as Entourage can.
I am looking for a wireless router to use at my apartment. I like the Airport Extreme, but it is a bit pricey.
