When you dragged over the files MANY file permissions were mangled, most likely. If the old drive is still there, try using Carbon Copy Cloner...it works; that's how I did just such a transfer. If the old drive isn't, you can *try* running the 'Repair Disk Permissions' tool in Disk Utility. -- Bruce Johnson University of Arizona College of Pharmacy Information Technology Group Institutions do not have opinions, merely customs -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
