How To Clone Mac Hard Drive With Boot Camp

Posted on by admin

Nov 30, 2019  While it's still possible to create an exact copy (a clone) of any drive connected directly to your Mac, changes to Disk Utility have created extra steps when you use Disk Utility’s. Tech Tip: How to Use Boot Camp on an External Drive Tuesday, May 9th, 2017 Author: Tom Nelson. Boot Camp and Boot Camp Assistant allow you to install Windows on your Mac. Rather than repeat that work when moving to another hard drive, clone and restore that partition. Back up and restore Boot Camp partitions. Saves it on the Mac side of the drive.

Hello!


I currently have a 200GB bootcamp partition on my 2TB internal iMac hard drive. I want more space for my windows partition. I have a spare 500GB Hard drive laying around, and was wondering if there was a way that I could clone the bootcamp partition from my iMac onto that drive. I'd still want it to be bootable.That way I could have an extra 300GB of space without sacrificing my internal HD. Is there an easy way to do this? Thanks!

Hi Shashank,
Since Stellar Drive Clone creates a replica of the hard drive, the file format of Macintosh HD will be same as of the source Macintosh HD. In the above article, the Macintosh HD was HFS formatted hence the clone Macintosh HD is HFS formatted too.
Let me know if you have further questions.
Thanks.

Dear Sir/Madam
We bought your software to do a clone from OSX with Bootcamp. When cloning starts it creates partitions on secondary drive and it says completed, but there is no data on partitions.
The software is useless for use. I tried now with different software like CarbonCopyCloner and it has completed partition cloning sucesfully.

Little snitch configuration from itself. Is that possible to clone disk with NTFS bootcamp, and retain NTFS on new drive ? Because Windows 7 64 only work in NTFS.

I have a Windows 10 64-bit Bootcamp partition running on a MAC OS Mojave. Is it possible to clone both disks, and have the original NTFS file-format of Windows 10?
What are the cons if the Windows 10 OS run on a EXFAT format?
