Good Day to all,
I have searched on this subject and found a lot of different ways to skin this cat. I was wondering if anyone could point me to a comprehensive step by step guide or some resources to help me out.
What I am trying to do:
My cousin has a Mid-2009 13" MBP. We purchased a SSD and a Data Doubler from OWC. We want to install the OS (Lion for now) onto the SSD as well as the apps, etc. We want to leave photos, music, other media on the HDD.
In my research, I see people using CCC, Time machine, just installing the OS onto the SSD and identifying that as the startup volume. There seems to be a range of ways to do this from simple to relatively complex.
I'm not sure whether to CCC the whole thing and then just delete what I don't want off of each drive - seems dangerous. Just need a little help.
As mentioned - If anyone would be able to point me to a comprehensive, preferably step by step guide, i would really appreciate it. If it were my own machine, I wouldn't mind screwing it up, but I don't want to lose any of her data or render her MBP useless. I just ran a full Time Machine backup onto an external.
Thanks very much in advance - I'm sure it is easily found and I have just missed it.
