    Hey guys, im very confused on what I should do here, need some advice, because im just not finding my answers on the internet.

    Im looking to upgrade my HD in my mbp13inch and I want to exactly replicate my old HD to my new one.

    So what im trying to figure out is. lets say I freshly install my new HD with my mbp cd & all, would TM completely clone my old HD onto the new one, or will I have to reinstall all programs i had from my old HD?

    And with CCC im confused on how I clone over to the new HD, can I do the fresh install of my OS, then plug in my external HD & will it clone over, or do i have to boot from the external HD, very confused, i dont want to mess anything up.

    I need an exact replicate of my old HD.

    Thanks

    You can restore from time machine to new hd. You boot from the install cd, then do the restore.

    As for ccc, I'm curious about that myself.

    Use TM. Install the HDD, install OS X, it should give you an option to restore from a TM backup.
