Select no. Then, copy your app folder from the old HD to the SSD (as I said before) and copy your files (the ones you need) to the 1.5TB and erase the old 500GB with DU
So what have you done now? Have you erased the HD already? Did you copy your files to the ext HD before it?
Okay so you haven't erased anything yet? You wouldn't have to use CCC to do that but it should work too. After that, COPY the files you need from the HD to the new 1.5TB HD and then erase the old 500GB with DIsk Utility (make sure the files are in the 1.5TB). After that, you can move them back to the 500GB or let them be in the 1.5TB, your call
As you can see in attachment, I am copying some of Application folders because for some reason it was showing me 115GB while Application folder supposed to be 55GB. However, I started to copy what ever it copy and then I will see if it works, if it does then I will add the same way what ever is missing.
Yeah... getting back to the original post....
same with me. Before the grey screen, super slow... after the main screen (with startup disks on ssd's) super fast.
Seems that it takes a while to recognize the startup disk when there are a few available? (even though the mac ssd is set as startup in system pref's)

I am sorry but I have external Camera and for some reason the other person can not see me. I have Apple camera.
I am on my PC Laptop at present. Purhaps my Camera needs setting too!
I do have Dell video chat on my Laptop if that is any good!
Your situation reminds me of an old problem with network startup disks. Could you unplug your ethernet cable (or turn Airport / router completely off) before restarting?
Also, what happens if you hold "Option" immediately after the startup chime?

Well I have installed the SSD but I think I need some expert help !! because there are some complications and I can't resolve that!
The problem I have is that my back up is larger then the SSD drive and I don't know how to select particular folders also I had problem of different format in between the drives, which I think has been solved but I would not know till I try it.
Add me in MSN (kriz_u_93@hotmail.com), will be easier to help through that as it's instant messaging
