I attempted to make a bootable clone of my current MacbookPro on an external HD to use with my new iMac, just to make the transition go a little smoother.
Not really knowing what I was doing, I selected the external HD as the source for my SuperDuper backup and chose not erase the source destination. Now I have a DMG of my MacbookPro file sitting on my external drive with a bunch of other files. In it's current state, it's not bootable, and to the best of my research so far, it's because it's not on it's own clean partition.
Do I need to start the process again and set the source to a clean partition, or can I use the DMG SuperDuper already created and simple drop it into a clean partition that I format with Disk Utility?
Thanks.
