I don't think Migration Assistant looks initially for individual files and folders, it starts looking for a bootable Mac System, and if it doesn't find one, it won't offer to migrate anything. You can manually migrate your User folder. Setup the same identical account name, and then I think it's a simple drag 'n' drop and hit "Replace" and you've got it. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
