This solution will allow you to copy your partitions from your current dual boot Mac setup with Boot Camp to a larger drive but re-size the partitions at the same time. Since you also have a larger drive, you don’t just want to do a sector by sector clone leaving you with a new drive that has the same partitions as the old drive. You have a Boot Camp partition on your mac hard disk so you can’t just do a straight clone of the entire drive using Carbon Copy Cloner or Super Duper (those programs don’t clone the Windows partition). Here’s how I finally got my 250GB dual boot drive cloned over to the new 500GB drive. Installing the RAM was a piece of cake, but moving the data over to the new drive proved much more tricky. So I hopped on NewEgg and got a WD Black 500GB notebook hard drive and 8GB’s of RAM for $150. I’m down to less than 1GB of free space on both my Macintosh HD and the Boot Camp Windows 7 partition. My MacBook Pro has been running out of hard disk space for some time.
