Windows On Mac :: MBP I5 On 7 - Finding Imaging Software
Oct 7, 2010Can you guys recommend some imaging software that works with the mbp i.e I could boot off a cd to restore an image to a hard drive.
I'm only using win7 for games and I want to take an image of my base install w/ windows update before installing anything
OS X :: Imaging Out Of The Box With BootCamp Windows Partition?
Oct 11, 2010I have the latest Acronis Backup and Recovery v10 boot cd.. i was hoping to use this to backup the out of the box macbook pro we just received..
It did show 2 partitions, one with about 239GB and 0 bytes free.. i had not gone through the setup wizard as of yet.
It is moving along as far as taking the image, but i'm not sure if this is safe to revert to or not..
Does anyone know?
(new to macbooks)..
Secondly, we will have bootcamp installed soon, with windows on that partition.. ideally we need to be able to backup via image the entire harddrive and revert to previous images as needed..
Hoping the bootable Acrnois is the answer..
However, i did read that Carbon Copy can be used.. does this backup bootcamp/windows partitions too.. will it create a bootable cd option or bootmenu option to restore?
MacBook Pro :: Best Windows Imaging Software?
Jul 27, 2010I know this is not exactly the place for this type of question, but here it goes anyways.
Everyday we keep getting new computers out of the earth it seems. I would like to get one setup, and then image the rest.
There will need to be 3 different sets of computers to image.
I need to get 20 Dell Latitudes imaged, 30 Dell Optiplex Desktops, and the 36 Windows 7 copies in the iMac lab.
So I have 1 Optiplex fully loaded and set to use as the mass image. Same with one copy of 7 on the iMac's. Notebooks are still in boxes.
What program will allow me to do this in the best way?? I was looking into Norton Ghost, but is there something else you guys know of or recommend?
Windows On Mac :: Cloning Or Backup/restore Of OSX/Win7 HDD?
Jan 12, 2011I want to copy/clone my current HDD onto another (both 500GB, but a different make/model). Usually a OSX re-install and TM restore does the trick, but this one has the OSX HFS+ and a smaller NTFS Win7 partition. I assume cloning will still let both OSes run, or is this just a bag of hurt and I need to reinstall everything...They're both in a Mid 2010 MBP (with optibay).

Sep 17, 2010I would like to "Backup", "Clone" or create an "Image" or whatever else people call it of my bootcamp installation. I know I can create an "Image" of bootcamp via disk utility but how would I restore it? Would I first delete the bootcamp partition and then re-create a bootcamp partition and then restore? Or would I just restore? Will the end result be what I am expecting, i.e., my Win 7 install right back to the perfect state of when I created the image?
Right now, let's say my Windows 7 install got smoked one day for whatever reason (it is windows) and I needed to re-install. Me personally, I would just go into Bootcamp Assistant, delete the Windows partition then create a new one and then get installing. Unfortunately installing and updating takes hours and that is what I am trying to avoid.
MacBook Pro :: Is SSD Cloning Good
Dec 5, 2010I am upgrading my MBP first gen unibody to an SSD drive. I just read that we should not clone an existing HDD to a SSD. The author did not give a reason why. So, my question is: will cloning my current HDD to a new SSD (using Super Duper) adversely affect the SSD performance? My initial plan for upgrading before reading this article was to clone my HDD to a new SSD in an enclosure (using Super Duper), then install the SSD. I thought this would save me a lot of effort restoring everything from scratch.

Jan 27, 2010Im having trouble with VMware.. If I set the wireless network connection to NAT, the internet works, but my xbox 360 wont show up in the media streaming options in windows media player. However, if I change the network settings to bridged, I lose my internet connection (well.. sometimes it works.. 80% of the time it doesnt..) Connecting to bridged is the only way I can connect to my 360, and only some of the time where the internet will work. Is there a way to fix the problem with bridged or NAT so they both work together?

Jan 3, 2011I have a macpro with OSX on one drive and windows 7 on a partition of another drive. Both systems work fine and I boot into windows by holding the option key down. What is odd is if I go to the system preferences startup disk my windows install does not show up. I did move my windows partition a while ago to a new drive. I used bootcamp to create the partition and winclone to move the data. It's not a big deal not having the option in the preference pain but would be nice. If I am in windows and go to the bootcamp control panel both OS X and Windows are there.
