I just installed a second internal ATA hard drive and I'd like to move all my files from the orignal disk to the new one and use the new one as my primary hard drive. Ive been able to boot from the new drive after installing OSX on it but I really want do move my existing software to the new disk.



I tried reformating the new drive and copying an image of the old hard drive to the new one. I set the new one as the startup disk but my Mac froze on startup (before the little ring started going). What do I need to do?

    I think Carbon Copy Clone or whatever order it's in, does that.
