The only thing that I can think of that was causing this was the fact that there were users (can't remember the exact control field or app name for this in 9) and obviously I wasn't privy to the user name and password but could change the user name and then the password so assume this had something to do with it? Either that or it was just the permissions being added to the files as they came over the PB...either way it wasn't having anything of it.. > Anyways, quick and easy way around is to make a sit or zip file of the > whole system folder and drag that over, makes it faster as well! Of coures...Thanks a million Gerard! (I forgot how easy to use our OS is, doh!) I simply made a local copy of the system folder and then after connecting to it with ethernet used Tiger to make a zip file of the copy...thereafter it came over without any issues and I have everything now. Am installing X as we speak...again thanks for the quick response and help.
