Folks,
Newby here.
I have a mid 2010 MacBook pro. I just upgraded it to 8g of RAM. I mostly use Win7, because the software I use runs on a Win platform. I had originally loaded it with 32bit, because I was only running 4g RAM. So when I upgraded to 8G, I had to reload to Win7 64. I then decided to remove the CD drive, and install a solid state 115g.
I wanted bootcamp to run on the solid state. The problem was it was a HUGE pain to install on it. We had to install it on my main HD, then clone it over, and delete the right boot files, yada yada.
All that to ask my question.
Does anybody have any ideas how I can image my computer (or something) so I can reload easier if needed? I couldn't run Win7 from my external CD drive. It wasn't supported.
I would really like to avoid this huge hassle for reloads in the future. Any ideas?
Thanks,
John
