Why don't you want to use Migration assistant?
The drive was damaged in a lightning storm? and for some reason I

the transfer would just lock up about 2/3rds into it... I tried

Well you can try the technique I used when my laptop drive bit the
dust.
pop the drive into a sturdy ziplock baggie (along with some silicon
dry rite packs if you have 'em) into the freezer for several hours
at least.
Pop it out attach it (It MASSIVELY helps to have one of these <http://tinyurl.com/2dwcchw
> which I've mentioned a few thousand times :-) and get data off of
it until it chokes.
I actually put mine on ice the whole time and was able to recover a
good 20-30 gb of data.

Funny that you'd mention it, the UPS truck just came and delivered
Serial ATA to USB 2.0 Cable Adapter to my door:-) (2 hours ago) A
must have. Never tried the ice thing, The guy that I was helping out
is a heavy smoker... man I was in a hurry to get him done with. Jeff
