[HM] Reformat hard drive

[Brian Olesky]

Do you have software that will let you "clone" your hard drive onto the
external drive? Software like SuperDuper, DataBackup, etc.? If so, then you
can simply copy it over to the external drive, wipe the internal drive
clean, then "clone" it back. But I believe you can't do it with a simple
drag and drop. OSX doesn't work that way.
