I'm trying to transfer data from a G4 to an Intel iMac. The G4 has 3
internal drives. Migration Assistant only sees the first drive on the
first bus. The boot drive is the 3rd drive on the second internal bus.
The first drive has OS 9 on it, and isn't big enough to use for backing
up the boot drive so that the MA can see it. I'd rather not open the G4
and move the drives. If it were a G5, it would be easy, but it's not.
All drives are set to Cable Select, not Master/Slave.
I backed up the boot drive to an external FireWire drive and plugged it
into the iMac. Migration assistant only sees two accounts that I deleted
several months ago, and not the one user account that's current. I
assume the deleted accounts are in a preference somewhere, but where?
Is there a way of moving apps, docs, prefs without either reinstalling
them or placing the prefs in the appropriate locations in the user and
system libraries?
