After I do that I would like to restore the clone from my WD passport (made with SD) to the new freshly formatted mac hard drive. I want to format the two partitions of my macbook pro (mac osx & windows) so I’ll have only one partition for mac os x. Then I tried restart holding down the option key but the WD bootable partition won’t appear again.ġ) my first Question therefore is, what went wrong?Ģ) Another question I have is the following: So from the Preferences>Startup Disk I chose the WD partition (with the clone) to boot from, and hit restart-> the WD bootable partition won’t appear. Īfter the completion of the process I checked for any failures from the disk utility but nothing seemed to be wrong. So I used superduper for that (with FW 800), following all the instructions, and made a clone of my mac partition to the designated WD passport partition. One for the clone of my internal mac drive and the other for personal data. So I partitioned the WD external drive in 2 parts (GUID partitioned- Mac Os Extended (Journaled)).

I use wineskin for years and recently switched over. With Fl Studio alpha it allows you to use mac vst the same way you can use em on logic or any other os daw. I can use my WD Passport when running Leopard but not when I’m running Windows 7, due to the Disk Format. Alot of the popular plugins have a mac version. My aim was to take a back up of my mac hard drive to my external WD My Passport Studio Drive 500GB (800/400 FW & USB 2). Hi I have the following WD Passport: My Passport Studio Ultra-portable Hard Drives 640 GB, FireWire 800, USB 2.0 I am using it with my Mac Book Pro, which using Boot Camp, I have Snow Leopard and Windows 7 installed.
#CAN YOU USE MY PASSPORT FOR MAC FOR BOOTCAMP FOR MAC OSX#
The one partition is used for Mac OSX (leopard) and the other for windows.

I have a macbook pro (intel based) which has a partitioned internal hard drive.
