I just got the 320 GB Western Digital Passport after running out of space on my 80 gig Macbook. I also got Leopard and am wondering what I should do.
Should I
a) clone the existing drive (which includes Parallels and XP) to the new drive, swap them over and then upgrade to Leopard
b) Put the new drive in, do a fresh install of Leopard and then start from scratch with Parallels and XP
c) As B but somehow copy the VM across (not sure if that can be done).
d) Something else entirely
At the moment I'm using XP so that I can run my accounting software (MS Accounting 2008) and am saving the datafile in the Mac side using shared folders. Would it be a better bet to have a FAT32 partition for this kind of thing, i.e. would it give me better performance?
thanks
