I'm not so much looking to backup the new Windows portion of my Macbook. I have an old hard drive from my Dell that I need to move the info from. I'm hoping I can only pull files. My ex used to do this stuff, so I am not as familiar with how to partition and move the information, but I can figure it out. So far I did the backup for my Macbook before I partition for Windows. I just need to figure out how much space I need for Windows and to run a few programs. I don't have a lot on my Macbook as it is, so I will probably use 250G for the partition. That will leave 500G for my Macbook. Should be plenty.
Since Windows wouldn't load on my old Dell HD anymore, I'm hoping to get the information off and move it. I may just buy another smaller drive for that or put the information on my Macbook after I install Windows. I could use the new WD backup drive, but I would need to partition it which means I have to format it again then partition then backup my Macbook again? I already did the backup on my Macbook, but to reformat, then partition the WD and then try to get files from my old HD and backup my Macbook again?
I have a co-worker who is supposed to help me with installing Windows. I'll see if he wants to do all the partitioning and backing up if I decide to use the WD to back up my Dell HD.
