Hey Guys,
I need your guys' help. I upgraded from a 250GB 5400rpm drive to the WD Scrop. 500 GB drive yesterday. The 250GB drive was completely full with only a few mb. to spare. After the upgrade and reinstallation of Bootcamp the laptops going a lot slower on startup (25 loady rotation thingy) and shut down and with a few programs.
These are the steps I did to upgrade:
- Used CarbonCopy to backup the Partition to a external disk.
- Installed the new drive.
- Booted up on the External Backup and copied over the whole backup partition to the new disk using Diskutility and the restore thingy.
- I installed bootcamp (150gb) and there is still about 230gb to spare on the Mac partion. The most changes are in Lightroom with loading of Jpegs and RAW pics and especially on startup and shutdown it takes a lot longer.
- I defraged using idefrag (quick online version only though)
Did I do something wrong with the migration? are there any others things I can do to make it faster?
Thanks,
Sam
