Hey Guys
I am currently running a very, very smooth install on the following:
OSX 10.7.2
Intel Core 2 Quad 2.4 Ghz
ASUS P5K-VM
GeForce 9600 GT 512 M (Using DVI Out)
300 GB SATA HD (MBR Format with W7 Partition and OSX 10.7.2 Partition booting with Chameleon)
TP-Link USB Wifi using Ralink Utility
External Audio Interface TASCAM US-1800
External Drive: 1TB USB 2/3 Iomega 7200RPM Desktop HD
I did this install as a test on my MBR Formatted W7 HD. I would like to kill my Windows partition and have only OSX.
Question:
What steps can I take, if possible, to backup my working OSX Partition/boot loader to my external and then restore it to my primary HD so that I have OSX on the entire internal HD ? I WANT TO FORMAT MY MAIN DRIVE AS GUID.
Is this easily done, or is it a lot easier to simply re-install. I have a LOT of audio software, and the authorization process with IK Multimedia, ilok etc etc is very annoying, so I would prefer to maintain this setup, just expand it across the entire drive.
Thanks!
