I still don’t have the guts to give Boot Camp another try since the disaster with Windows XP. It took me ages to figure out how to get win XP to run smoothly.. and then it crashed. Perhaps it works better with Windows 7? have you tried it and can give a comparison?

A couple of notes: You can use this to clone your drive to a external one which makes it hold option boot able, excellent in case your primary drive dies one day. Always repair permissions on both after cloning. And any new drive should be Disk Utility Erase with Zero option once before using to map off bad bits and sectors a head of time.

Have you tried the “Shrink NTFS Partition” command in Winclone? What program do you use instead?

WinClone sucks.

I’ve tried several times so far to restore the image created from my old laptop, but every time I try it tells me that the destination partition is too small for the image. The image size is 31.12GB, and the smallest partition I tried was 32GB (31.57GB as reported by WinClone). The largest partition I tried was 100GB.

Glad I didn’t pay anything to find out that its crap.

I generally Sysprep my Windows install for large projects, to make the image process smoother. If it’s a one-off image, I’ll just run a Windows repair and it usually turns out fine. Of course, OS X requires none of this.

I’ve used Winclone before and it basically works perfectly. Keeping all the serials in perfect working order. I only had one glitch with Microsoft Office for Windows. Some of the desktop icons/aliases for Office stopped working and I had to make new ones from each individual Office application.

CCC works perfectly every time. I have clones for all my computers. Any major updates and I build a new clone. Safest way to go.
