Mac 1TB HDD to 240GB SSD Clone


Paft

Recommended Posts

A friend has a imac with a 1TB hDD with only 60ish of space used.

 

Normally if this was a NTFS (Win) drive Macrium Reflect would clone it if that space used would fit on the new drive, but it reads the partitions as though they are full and of course it won't clone.

 

 

How do I go about this asides from using Disk Utility or a fresh install and Migration Assistant.

You have to get mac versions of disk cloning programs (see some of them here)

Programs written for windows can't recognize HFS/HFS+ file systems unless you use a third-party program

Apple has even announced a new file system called APFS
