Here's my situation : my old Macbook from 2011 died on me, and the guy at the store said it was beyond repair. He could however extract the hard drive with all the data. I found an E-Sata-to-USB mount and will get a new Macbook shortly.
About the drive : it was partitioned in maybe 2 or 3 partitions - one with the standard MacOS, and one with Windows (and possibly a small Linux somewhere, I don't remember at this stage). I used to switch between the partitions using rEFIt.
How do I best go about using that old hard drive, all its partitions and the rEFIt capability (or equivalent) ?
Ideally I would upgrade the Mac OS partition to whatever Mac OS version I will get with the new Macbook - and of course keep any non-OS data on this partition - but keep on using whatever Windows I had on the other partition (I will consider buying a new Windows later).
Any tips on my hopes of achieving this, on any possible fall-back options ?
Thanks in advance.
