Clone your OS drive
My OS drive is going bad and getting buggy. Is it possible to clone your OS drive without reformatting and reinstalling all my programs including plugins? Would love to just purchase a new drive and be up and running quickly again.

Re: Clone your OS drive
Unless it's a physical issue, you'll just be cloning the same problems to the new drive. From my own experience, it's best to start fresh using a previous disk image, which hopefully you've created. That said, True Image can do disk cloning:

Re: Clone your OS drive
The best time to clone your system drive is, when everything is working great

Re: Clone your OS drive
I actually take it much farther than that. I image after the OS and the basic updates, drivers and Quicktime are installed and tweaked. A second image with just PT installed. a 3rd image when everything is installed(and I clone THAT setup so I have a backup system drive ready to go). Use imaging AND cloning(either is good, both is better
).
