Problem there is WinClone is no longer free. So you need another application for that like WinClone. In other words if your current drive is 500GB and you are using 100GB of 500GB, then your CCC backup should be around 100GB and you can restore that to a drive that is 128GB.Д¬CC can back up your windows partition, but the partition will not be bootable if you use CCC to move your windows partition to a new disk. Technically if you use Carbon Copy Cloner (CCC) to backup your Mac Volume and the total of that CCC backup is less than your SSD, you should be ok. Restore the WinClone image to the Boot Camp partition you created in. You can save the image on a network drive if you need additional space or just put it on the mac partition of of the old USB attached drive.

Download & install WinClone 2.3.3 and create an image of the USB attached Boot Camp Windows partition on your old drive. Check to make sure you can access the old Boot Camp Windows partition. Attach the old drive via a USB enclosure or SATA to USB adapter. At the end of the wizard select Quit & Install Later. Run the BootCamp Assistant and create a Windows partition with the desired size on the new primary drive. It should boot up the same way your Mac booted up with the old drive but you wonвЂ™t see your Boot Camp partition. Install the new drive into the computer and boot it. Download Carbon Copy Cloner or Super Duper (I used Super Duper) and clone your existing Mac hard drive to the new USB Drive.

Format the new drive using a single partition as Mac OS Extended (Journaled) file system. Attach the new drive to your MacBook using a SATA t0 USB adapter or a USB hard drive enclosure. I went from a 250GB drive partitioned into 200GB Mac and 50GB Windows to a 500GB drive with 380GB Mac and 120GB Windows partitions. 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 donвЂ™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 canвЂ™t just do a straight clone of the entire drive using Carbon Copy Cloner or Super Duper (those programs donвЂ™t clone the Windows partition). HereвЂ™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 8GBвЂ™s of RAM for $150.

IвЂ™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.
