Ray I'm not sure if you are referring to specific utilities or what. However, you can clone your drive using something like CCC or Superduper. There is another option called asr, which is a program you would have to run from within Terminal. I will leave asr to you for research. This is a utility that requires you to boot off the SL DVD as it does a block copy. This utility requires understanding, so this is why I won't go into the how, but instead let those interested do some reading. Although most folks will find CCC or Superduper more than adequate for the task. On Jul 10, 2011, at 6:37 AM, Ray Foret Jr wrote:
