sudo dd if=/dev/disk0s3 of=/RecoveryHD.img bs=10000 Therefore, you probably will never use this file. My outline did not include migrating this partition to the new disk. Again, you can just image it to the root of OS X using the command below. I do not know if Time machine will backup the 'Recovery HD' partition. sudo dd if=/dev/disk0s1 of=/efi.img bs=10000 The image file efi.img will be stored in the root directory of the OS X partition. I usually just make an exact image copy of the entire partition. This is not a problem since it is only 210 MB in size. To be safe, you could backup the EFI partition. The normal (automatic) installation would be OS X, which is backed up with Time Machine.

This leaves either the EFI partition or the OS X partition. First I wanted to check if rEFIt was installed on its own partition. There were a two reasons I wanted the output from diskutil and fdisk. No CoreStorage logical volume groups found What steps do I need to take to make this work? (Any pitfalls?)Ĭommand output requested by David Anderson: sudo fdisk /dev/disk0ĭisk: /dev/disk0 geometry: 60801/255/63 I would like to migrate both my current installation of OSX and the installation of Windows to their respective new (differently sized) partitions on the SSD, without having to re-install the OS'es.

Once I'm on the SSD, I will upgrade OSX to Yosemite.

The Windows 7 Bootcamp partition I currently have uses only 70GB, so I'd like it to occupy the 80GB partition on the SSD. Instead of the 300GB/200GB partitions I currently have, I'm aiming for 400GB/80GB partitions on the SSD. I would like to replace the internal hard disk drive with an Intel DC S3500 480GB SSD.Ĭhanging the drive itself should be easy via a guide I've found. OSX is under backup via TimeMachine, Windows is backed up manually on an external hard drive as a simple copy. Currently running OSX 10.8.5 on a 300 GB partition, and Windows 7 via Bootcamp on a 200 GB partition. I have a MacBook Pro 15' early 2011 model with a 500 GB internal hard disk drive (non-SSD). I wasn't able to find the info I needed here or on Apple's own forums or via Google, so here goes.
