New HDD getting restart message after carbon copy cloner

Hey folks,
Been a while since I asked for help, but always glad you are here.
My 160GB HDD was getting close to its limit and slowing down quite a bit, so I figured I'd upgrade to a 500GB Seagate 7200rpm HDD.
Used CCC to do a complete clone. Did the Clone with 500GB drive in a FW enclosure. Took roughly 2 hours and then rebooted from the new clone while it was still in the enclosure. Everything worked fine.
Installed new clone drive in macbook(I have done this before when I went from the original 60GB to 160GB drive and have all the correct tools)
Try to startup with new drive installed and get the greyish mini screen with message to hold start button until it shuts down and press start button again. Tried 5 times with same results.
Should I go ahead and re-clone or use my grey disks to run hardware test?
MB1,1 2006, 2gigs ram 10.6.7
Thanks for any and all help.
Adam

Okay. Ran hardware test. No problems found. Checked HDD connectors on both the MacBook and the new HDD. Look fine.
Tried reseating the new HDD to no avail.
Reinstalled old 160 GB HDD and MacBook is running fine as we speak.
Going to try re-cloning. If that doesn't work will try reformatting and doing a fresh install and migration assistant.
Adam
Anymore ideas before I go to far would be appreciated.

  • Firefox crashes after Carbon Copy Cloner

    I powered on the computer, and did not open anything other than Carbon Copy Cloner. I then copied one entire hard drive to another. Everything works, such as Thunderbird and Opera Next, except for Firefox! As it's my primary browser I have spent an hour or two trying to work out a few things. This was the second Carbon Copy Clone I did and it didn't state any errors during the copy process. Firefox was working flawlessly on the other hard drive.
    If I open Firefox it goes straight to crash reporter - no Firefox window. If I try and open profile manager the same happens, and if I try and open in safe mode the same happens. I have tried repairing disk permissions. There is no sign of Firefox being open in Activity Monitor

  • External Hard Drive Unreadable After Carbon Copy Cloner Backup

    I am using a Maxtor OneTouch III Media external drive. I had formatted it to be read/writeable from Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger, and had been reading and writing files fine. Then I did a system backup to the external drive with Carbon Copy Cloner. Now when I plug the drive into the USB port, it says "the disk you inserted is not readable by this computer." I am guessing that Carbon Copy Cloner may have messed with the file system format. I had some pretty important files on there and would like to retrieve them, so I'd prefer not to reformat.
    Disk Utility shows this information for the drive:
    Name : Maxtor OneTouch III Media
    Type : Disk
    Disk Identifier : disk1
    Media Name : Maxtor OneTouch III Media
    Media Type : Generic
    Connection Bus : USB
    Connection Type : External
    USB Serial Number : RA09E5XC
    Writable : Yes
    Ejectable : Yes
    Mac OS 9 Drivers Installed : No
    Location : External
    Total Capacity : 149.1 GB (160,041,885,696 Bytes)
    S.M.A.R.T. Status : Not Supported
    Disk Number : 1
    Partition Number : 0
    Also, Partition Scheme : Unformatted
    I know that the drive had a name (besides the generic "Maxtor OneTouch III Media) before I did anything with Carbon Copy Cloner. Is my data already gone?

    Hi , and a warm welcome to the forums!
    I think the problem is more the One-touch, they can't boot PPC Macs even via Firewire.
    I think you'll have to Reformat it again... did you maybe use GUID Partition Scheme the first time?
    See this, except for the GUID part...

  • Two problems after Carbon Copy Cloner use

    After replacing a dead hard drive in my MacBook Pro. I used CCCloner to copy the hard drive from my iMac to the macbook. Everything is great with two exceptions.
    1) I can no longer print to my shared printer over WiFi. The printer is hardwired to the iMac via USB.
    2) When trying to download shareware, freeware or a purchased game (snood), the download window opens in a new tab and NEVER starts. Downloads from other sites i. e. ezShare, megaupload etc. work flawlessly.
    Any help would be great.

    You have 3 computers listed in your computer information, including a Macbook. So after replacing the hard drive in your MBP you used CCC to copy the iMac's drive to the Macbook, or the Macbook Pro?
    Strictly speaking one shouldn't clone the system from one model computer to a different model because of possible incompatibilities, but I think most people get away with it.
    Did you verify the hard drive with Disk Utility's first aid before doing the cloning? Did you repair permissions?
    2) When trying to download shareware, freeware or a purchased game (snood), the download window opens in a new tab and NEVER starts. Downloads from other sites i. e. ezShare, megaupload etc. work flawlessly.
    What are you using to download? From what site? It seems to work with some sites from what you say. Are you using any plugins?

  • MacPro wont back up to Time Machine or Carbon Copy Cloner?

    I am running 10.6.8 on my 2 x 3 Ghz Intel Mac Pro with 10 Gb of Ram. I have been backing up my two internal drives to an external 2 Tb WD for over a year using time machine and it would lose the drive every once in a while but I could get it back. Now after multiple erasures and reformats I can't get Time Machine or Carbon Copy Cloner (not at the same time : ) ) to run any faster than 1Gb/13min. Just my big ol' music drive will take 6 days at that speed!
    I know there is something wrong for these speeds to be this slow. Does anyone have any suggestions of ways to speed up transfer and get the data flowing freely like it should or even theories about what's going on? I am using USB 2.0 from the drive to the tower. Cheers.

    First what interface did you use? USB2? can't and expect any decent backup performance and forget zeroing a drive. FW800? on some WD MyBook, yes.
    I would if possible move it into a FW800/400/eSATA drive case from OWC.
    Add a PCIe SATA + USB3 CalDigit card and use that.
    Move the drive inside an option? some WD MyBook can't, were built around the external drive case.
    Your profile is out of date 10.4.11 is way old and didn't include TimeMachine (10.5 Oct 2007)
    Lion and ML are better at Disk Utility and managing disk drives.
    I use WD Green, very inexpensive, but no MyBook (yet, maybe USB3 NAS some day).
    Why keep your data on one drive that has been beaten to death and not try a WD Black or couple other drives - or do you have those just not listed? Clone your system, clone your data, and even a spare TimeMachine... but I would go with two system backup drives. That is safe, and covers anyone's important system and media and digital library needs.

  • PS CS4 will not open after carbon copying drive to new SSD on MacPro

    PS CS4 will not open after carbon copying drive to new SSD on MacPro. Pop-up windows inform me that the scratch disk is not available. I would appreciate any advice on how to rectify this problem.
    Thanks
    marco

    Thanks avanishdivya.
    I was hoping to avoid that route, but guess it's all I can do.
    Thanks for your quick response.
    Do you know if it is a Carbon Copy Cloner issue or just the way Adobe sets it up?
    For future reference, where should the scratch disk reside? I heard it should not be on the boot drive?

  • Mountain Lion is missing, after installing an external hard drive and Carbon Copy Clone.

    I have a mid-2007 desktop iMac Model MA877LL, 2.4 ghz/1gb/320gb, with 4 GB memory, upgraded to Mountain Lion 9/7/2012 at an Apple store (now 10.8.5).  I just installed a new external hard drive Fantom Drive 1T G-Force Mega Disk Firewire 800, then installed Carbon Copy Clone successfully.  However, I could not get the clone to boot from the backup volume.  Mountain Lion showed in both Macintosh HD and External Hard Drive at that point.  After working through many steps with CCC, trying to get it to boot, the final suggestion was to try installing Mountain Lion onto the backup disk via the Mac App Store Installer.   As my Mountain Lion was installed at an Apple store, there's no record of it on line and I can't find an installer, although I've been doing updates as they're issued.  Per article, "OS X:  Installing OS X on an external volume", I erased and reformatted the storage device.  Now, checking my Macintosh HD, Mountain Lion is gone.  How do I get it back?

    Are you saying that your internal HD doesn't have an operating system on it either, meaning you can't boot your iMac at all? Or that the external was also named "Macintosh HD" in which case, having been erased and reformatted (hopefully with a GUID partition table), you'll need to clone your internal to it once again.

  • Good news about Carbon Copy Cloner

    After reading a post from Mike Bombich at his Carbon Copy Cloner web site that he knew of no reason CCC wouldn't work under Rosetta on the new InteliMacs I decided to try cloning to an external FW400/USB2 Maxtor drive, and indeed he is correct!
    Bombich warns that CCC hasn't been thoroughly wrung out on Intel hardware, and that you can NOT mix clones: an Intel clone will NOT boot a PowerPC Mac, nor vice versa.
    The only real trick is to be certain to partition the clone drive in the new GUID Partition Scheme listed under Options in the Partition page of Disk Utility. From there CCC runs like it always has, and Bob's your Uncle.

    I recommend checking CCC's Help and the stickies at CCC General Tips http://forums.bombich.com/viewforum.php?f=2. If you still have questions, post them to the CCC Troubleshooting forum at http://forums.bombich.com/viewforum.php?f=3—Bombich Forums Moderator.

  • Carbon Copy Cloner from Older OS to Newer OS

    If I use Carbon Copy Cloner and clone my HDD for my Mac Book Pro which is currently running Snow Leopard, and copy it onto a computer with Mavericks, is there anything I have to do special?
    Will it replace Mavericks with Snow Leopard?
    Or will it just put all my files and programs and such on Mavericks?
    Seems like a dumb question, but I am operating under the assumption that the newer OS X's may psossibly have some slightly different system folder structures and having a carbon copy of and older OS may cause there to be doubles of folders that couldnt be replaced because they are in different loctations or have different names.

    You could buy an external HD and make a time machine backup... in the setup of mavericks (with the new HD in your MacBook) you have the option to import user data from time machine or an old mac...
    An other option is to copy the HD of your MacBook to an external HD (with CCC) but you have to import your old data per drag and drop from the external Copy. This option is more difficult and requires much time, but you have a "clean" new system without any old stuff from previous systems...

  • Mac Pro Boot slow after Leopard Update and Carbon Copy Cloner

    I just purchased a 1TB Internal hard drive - Seagate Barracuda 7200rpm - and used Carbon Copy Cloner to clone my original hard drive (which is running Tiger). Everything seems to be normal, except the the long boot up process. The desktop appears, the dock appears, and then there is a long pause of 20 to 30 seconds before the drives mount and and the desktop folders appear. I have 10 gigs of RAM, I have rebuilt the Directory with Disk Warrior 4.1, and also repaired the disk permissions (although some of them state that they can't be repaired). When I reboot from my original 250 Gig hard drive, the boot is lightning fast. Any thoughts? I have many third party software programs installed and am trying to avoid a fresh Leopard Install. Thanks, this is my first post!

    this may happen on the first boot on a cloned drive because the system has to rebuild various caches that are not cloned. it should be back to normal boot speed after that.

  • My mac mini does not boot, after backing the enire system onto an external drive with Carbon Copy Clone

    My Mac Mini does not boot, after backing the enire system onto an external drive with Carbon Copy Clone. I had switched the start-up disk back to the original of course. Now all I see is the Apple logo. What should I do? Thanks in advance.

    Try disconnecting any external devices, especially hard drives
    and try rebooting.
    If that doesn't help, then :
    If you are running Lion, boot to the Recovery HD and run a
    Repair Disk on the OSX partition.
    If Snow Leopard, boot to the installl DVD and run Repair Disk.
