If you tell CCC to clone a drive you did NOT boot from, it can work in block copy mode where the destination drive must be the same size or larger than the drive you are cloning from (if I recall). CCC usually works in "file mode" and it can easily copy a larger drive (that's mostly empty) onto a smaller drive. If it came Apple Partition Scheme, even if you let CCC do the clone, the resulting drive won't be bootable. One step you have to remember not to skip is to use Disk Utility to partition the SSD as GUID partition scheme HFS+ before doing the clone. I've done this several times going from larger HDD to smaller SSD and I wound up with a bootable SSD drive. Use Carbon Copy Cloner to copy one drive to the other. When trying to restore using disk utility i'm given the error "Not enough space on disk _ to restore"Īny ideas or workarounds before resorting to the above? I've got a 500gb internal drive and a 240gb SSD. "Discussion in 'Mac OS X Lion (10.7)' started by axboi87, Jan 20, 2012.
