Hello!
I have a macbook pro late 2011. I used bootcamp on the existing hdd to put windows onto it. However i recently bought a new ssd to replace with the old hdd. The problem is that i didn't copy any data or programs onto the new ssd, i just re-installed mac osx. Is there a way to use the original windows disk or any other method to put windows on the new ssd?? Any answers are very much appreciated!
Thank you!

Sorry about my confusing explanation. If possible i don't want to transfer any files, i just want the windows software.
Thanks.

I think Bootcamp's the only way to do that, I don't really know how locked-down Macs are, the cloning thing would just copy everything, thus avoiding having to reinstall all your software.

Should be a tutorial on Apple's site on how to use Bootcamp, tho.
