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?
