Migration Assistant gives you the option of restoring from another Mac, or another disk - I assume you've tried both options?

Hi All

I have a iBook G3 500 that I just put a new hard drive and RAM plus 10.4.11 on and I want to migrate the OSX files and programs from the old drive.

When I start Migration Assistant the drive I want to use doesn't show in the selection of drives. However it shows on the desktop along with 4 other bootable partitions on the Firewire external. I can boot the old drive but I can't seem to migrate from it??

Anyone seen this before?
