The one thing you showed that no one else did was how to actually CONVERT instead of erase. Simple yes, but it was not clear how/why until I saw your walk-through. Thanks! And thanks to dosdude1! By the way, it took about 5 hours to complete on my MacBook Pro (mid-2009) with 500GB HD with 90GB free. Mostly waiting. (Excluding backup) Next I will upgrade a MacBook Air using the same USB drive. That should save some time.
