Cloning a MBP

[Dr.Tech]

Has anyone tried this yet?

Is it possible?

Carbon Copy cloner clones the mac partition ok, but does not recognize the XP one(s)

I would like to build 20 machines but do not look forward to repeating everything manually for the XP side (including installing all of the software titles 20 times).

thanks

I used apple disk utility to take an image of the working xp partition in case i busted it trying out drivers It seemed to work fine but i haven't tried to recover yet.

Today, I successfully cloned a MBP 2.0 Ghz computer to an identical MBP.

I target booted each computer to a virgin intel iMac (mean that I did not do any updates) with 2 firewire ports.

CopyCatX from http://www.subrosasoft.com was the software I used.

I did not sysprep the XP partition and it is working fine, as best as I can tell.

The 100 Gb clone took about 3.5 hours.

cheers

On the PC Acronis True Image did always a good work to clone/backup my HardDisk.

I will try it when i receive my Mac Mini soon.
