Ah, so that’s the key: booting the good one from an install DVD. Thus TDM sees /all/ drives, mounted or not? Also, I assume that I will need to reformat the new drive (to Mac OS Extended, Journaled) before TDM will touch it. I guess this requires booting that one first from an install DVD to run Disk Utility, and then proceed with performing the TDM transfer? -Carl _______________________________________________ MacOSX-talk mailing list [email protected] http://www.omnigroup.com/mailman/listinfo/macosx-talk
