Carbon Copy Cloner. Carbon Copy Cloner is a simple cloning tool that backs up your internal hard drive at the bit level. You can boot off the backup disc or clone. Below is the sequential procedure to clone Macintosh HD and BootCamp Windows OS to another hard drive: 1) Go to Stellar Drive Clone page to clone Mac hard drives & Boot Camp partition 2) Launch the app and click Clone tab 3) In the Disk Clone Windows, select Apple HDD as Source drive and select external hard disk drive as destination.

I’ve been working on this for a week to no avail. My wife and I have identical mid 2012 Macbook 15’s.

The goal for both was to install a 2TB SSD drive and partition it with the 3 OS that we require for our AV production business:

1. Mac OS High Sierra 10.13.6
2. Mac OS Mountain Lion 10.8.5
3. Bootcamp running Windows 7

All of these OS are required for the various audio/video plugins we require so we must use these OS and the latest version of Winclone we can use is 7.3.4

On my computer I was able to install all OS with only one minor issue. BootCamp doesn’t show up as a startup disc in Recovery or High Sierra. I have to startup in Mountain Lion to get Bootcamp to show up as a startup disc. That’s fine, I can live with that and all OS work perfectly.

On my wifes computer, I’ve tried everything under the sun to get BootCamp installed properly and all roads lead to the familiar dead end “No bootable device - insert boot disk and press every key”. After an entire week of this I surrendered and wiped the entire hard drive to start over. This is the closest I got to success.

1. Installed Mountain Lion - Success
2. Partitioned 100gb Bootcamp Partion - Success
3. Used Winclone & Target Disc Mode to migrate Windows 7 Bootcamp partition from my computer to my wife’s. Success
4. Tested both Mountain Lion and Windows partitions on my wifes Macbook. Both worked flawlessly.
5. Partitioned 1TB of SSD on wifes MacBook for High Sierra - Success
6. Installed and tested High Sierra - Success
7. Launched Mountain Lion - Still working perfectly
8. Launched Bootcamp Windows 7 - FAIL: “No bootable device - insert boot disk and press every key”
9. Ugh!!!
10. Attempt to launch Bootcamp from both Mac OS FAIL: “No bootable device - insert boot disk and press every key”
11. Attempt to launch Boot Camp from Recovery. Not listed. FAIL.
12. turn off System Integrity Protection in macOS. Still FAIL “No bootable device - insert boot disk and press every key”
13. Launch High Sierra, open Winclone. Select tools Tab “Make EFI Bootable”, attempt to launch bootcamp from both Mac Partitions. FAIL “No bootable device - insert boot disk and press every key”
14. Launch High Sierra, open Winclone. Select tools Tab “Make Legacy Bootable”, attempt to launch bootcamp from both Mac Partitions. FAIL “No bootable device - insert boot disk and press every key”

This is an absolute nightmare that will not end. My identical computer works fine. What the heck is going on here? Why is High Sierra destroying the Bootcamp partition or at the very least, why is it making it unbootable?

Please help and thank you.

I bought a nice Samsung 500GB SSD recently to replace the ol’ spinning disk that came with my 2010 15″ MacBook Pro (Snow Leopard). Pricing had finally come down to reasonable levels ($280) and this helps stave off my itch to upgrade (eyeing the 13″ Retina MBP).

Prior to the upgrade, I was running a triple-boot setup with Mac OS X, Ubuntu 12.04, and Windows 7 x64. I didn’t use the Ubuntu partition much, so I decided to dump it and fold the space into the Windows partition, with the intention of running Ubuntu in a VM (or just using Cygwin more).

My first problem came when I discovered that my utility for disk cloning, Acronis True Image, didn’t work on MacBooks due to the weird way Macs boot. I cloned the Mac OSX partition using a trial copy of Carbon Copy Cloner, with my new drive plugged into a SATA to USB/eSATA dock that I have. That left me with Mac OS X taking up the entire drive. I installed the SSD in my MacBook, following the instructions from iFixIt. I skipped the battery removal – it’s not really required and I don’t have the tri-wing driver needed to do so. Used pliers to get the screws off/on the side of the drive since I couldn’t find my Torx kit.

After booting into Mac OS X with my new drive, I used the Boot Camp Assistant to shrink the Mac OS partition down. At this point, I tried using Clonezilla to clone my old Windows partition over into the newly created Boot Camp partition, but I could not get it to boot, no matter what. I tried the Windows Startup Repair tools, various command line bcdedit things, etc., to no avail. I would always get “A disk read error occurred. Press Ctrl+Alt+Del to restart.” The partition was readable in Mac OS X, but it just wouldn’t boot.

I finally found this post over at Mark’s Machinations, who had similar issues when moving to a larger drive. I started where he says:

Now exit DiskUtil and fire up the BootCamp Assistant and create your BootCamp partition to whatever size you want. Follow all of the instructions including inserting your Windows 7 installation disk and the click the “Install” button.

and continued from there. Reinstalled Windows. Cloned my old Windows partition on top (with the -m and -r flags and without the -j2 flag in Clonezilla, as stated in the instructions). Did the bdcedit bootrec dance to rebuild the BCD. After all that, all was well, and Windows 7 boots speedily!

I’m not entirely sure what the problem was – it might have been because I had GRUB installed previously. Or maybe it was an issue with the BCD store in Windows.
