Few questions about transfering to new drives

1. Can I clone my drive using ghost, and Newegg.com - VANTEC NST-260SU-BK Aluminum 2.5" USB2.0 & eSATA External Enclosure then swap the drives and have it work.



2. Will it clone all my partitions?

3. After swapping out, can I install a hackintosh on the drive I am putting in the external enclosure (old drive) through eSATA.

1. If you clone the drives properly and set all of the correct parameters it should work. An easier solution would be to create a system image and use that to install Windows.

2. If you select all of the partitions then it will clone them. You may have to copy them one at a time, I'm not familiar w/ Ghost.

3. I have no idea what the parameters of Hackintosh are. I know for a fact that it requires extra drivers and whatnot because OS X only comes with a finite set of drivers and it's fairly difficult to install them. You should follow the instructions you find on the web. It is possible to boot OS X off USB 2.0.
