Hello Guys, I just want to thank all of you for your suggestions. I've decided to use CCC. These are both really good apps and it was a really close thing in terms of deciding which to use. After playing around with both apps, I really like the UI that CCC uses. Now I'm really looking forward to L

I prefer CCC, as it's free and I've heard it works better and is sometimes more relyable than super duper. On 20/06/2011 01:37, Christopher Peppel wrote: I have not tried CarboncopyCloner, but SuperDuper is completely accessible. I use it all the time with great results. Chris On Jun 19, 201

Hi, Ezzie, here's yet another suggestion: it's possible that you have a bad sector on your hard drive that prevents your Mac from completing the boot up. If so, it's still possible to boot your Mac from an alternate drive, and also access your original disk (any parts that are not damaged), if
