Cloning a Mac Drive

Thread needs solution

Hi all,

So my friend has a macbook pro that has a failing hard drive. By using my windows PC, can I take her hard drive, boot into acronis recovery, and recover her old hard drive into a new hard drive?

I know imaging isn't possible, but I should be able to clone it to a new hard disk and just pop the new hard disk into the mac book right?

Thanks,
-Wu

I don't think the mac os and file system observe the same geometry, boot sector rules, etc. So a restore might not get you a bootable sysem disk.

I think mac has it's own built in backup program. Can she restore from that?

Is it possible to use the TIH 2011 bootable media to create a disk clone? I have a 1TB external USB drive I have been using for all my laptop backups (upto three now :( ) and would like to use the same process of - Boot from CD, Clone Disk, Store on USB drive.

When it boots into TIH is doesnt show the local disk on my Mac Pro.

Matthew,

It is possible to use the 2011 bootable media to create clones in general, but not on Mac computers.
