Okay, so a few days ago I decided that I needed a new hard drive for my Macbook Pro.
I’m going to share with you my experiences of doing the upgrade and giving Vista a go instead of XP.

I ended up settling on a Western Digital 320GB Scorpio drive which has been an awesome drive that i would recommend to anyone.
Doing this upgrade meant that I needed to clone my current hard drive to the new one and I needed to find a way to move my current Boot Camp partition to the new drive along with it. For moving the Leopard partition, I used Super Duper!. The great thing about this program is that it’s fast, does a perfect bootable copy to the new drive and it’s free. I used another free Mac app called WinClone to backup the Boot Camp partition to a file, which contained Windows XP SP2.

Next I attached the Scorpio drive was attached to an external USB caddy, and while was booted into Leopard, Super Duper worked it’s magic. I find it really is amazing that this program is able to backup while the OS is running and thank you to the developer for making it free. Anyways after it was done, I used Apple’s Boot Camp Assistant (in the /Utilities folder) to partition the drive for Boot Camp. I now had 300GB to play with so I gave 40GB for Windows… just enough space for Visual Studio and a few games.
