Set up a external boot drive with a 10.6.7 installation that could boot the user’s laptop. See below the jump to get the procedure I used.ġ.
That was the key information I needed and it helped me immeasurably with avoiding the pain of reinstalling Windows 7 again. At least, that’s what my hope was.Īfter some Googling, I happened across this Apple Discussion thread and saw Toocool4‘s post at the bottom of the thread. The venerable tool was no longer being updated, but it could still save my bacon. That’s when I remembered my (possible) savior: Winclone. Since there’s no easy way I know of to shrink a Windows partition (plenty of options if you want to grow it), I was looking at a multi-hour re-install of Windows 7 which I had just done. I had set up a Boot Camp installation yesterday for a user, who wanted to use it for both dual-booting and so he could use VMWare (using the Boot Camp partition for the VMWare Windows install.) I’d set it for 100 GBs (20%) of the disk and delivered it, but I got a follow-up email from the user asking if the Windows partition could be made smaller (50 GBs).
