restore a macbook pro os x 10.6.8 no disk

Progress will then be shown as copying blocks instead of copying files.

Don't forget to select Erase Destination, or it will in fact just make a file copy.

In Disk Utility, select the target disk (which must have been partitioned so your Mac can actually boot from it!), click Restore, drag the target partition to the Target field, and the old partition to the Source field. Start from a different disk if you want to copy the system partition (use the System DVD if necessary). I know it works with an image copy of your partition.ĭISCLAIMER: Do this at your own risk! Have a backup of at least your most important files on a separate medium! Do not attempt this if you are uncertain about any of the consequences or circumstances here! There are no guarantees that the following will work for you! In this case, I used this hint to re-connect Time Machine after migrating a partition from one hard disk to another one. This hint is inspired by and uses tricks introduced by the hint Repair Time Machine after logic board changes, and is used for a similar purpose.
