Hey Guys, I just ordered the new Transcend Jet Drive SSD kit for my Macbook Pro Retina.. I currently have boot camp with Win 7 installed on my OEM hard drive.. I was wondering when I clone the OEM SSD to the new SSD will it take my Boot camp partition and win 7 as well? Is there something I will have to do different in order to get my boot camp copied to the NEW SSD? Thanks!!

What program are you planing to use? Whenever I clone my Mac I always use CarbonCopyCloner and Winclone. That will take care of both partitions so you have an exact copy.

The Transcend directions have you using Disk Utility. I was under the impression Disk Utility would only do the HFS+ partition but I'm not entirely sure on this.

In the video Transcend shows to copy over the OEM drive they just use DISK UTILITIE to clone it.. they didnt use CCC Winclone.. I do own a registered copy of Super Duper Would that work?

I don't have any experience using Super Duper so I'm not sure if that will clone your Bootcamp installation as well.
