Hi Rich what Mac os is she using ?
  I used to use Carbon Cloner allot but I use the one in Utilities    
folder called Disk utilities all you have to do is go into the part  
that says restore  drag the old drive to the first box then drag the  
new drive to bottom box then hit restore it will be exact duplicate  
of the drive she use right now and will boot also .
then pull it out case then put in mac boot it up
