I have a G4 Cube that I am trying to transfer myhard drive to my iMac G5. When i boot up the cube in target disk mode and get it on the iMac it generally shows up, when it does i can sometimes open up the hard drive. but no matter what it usually ends up freezing and ill get the spinning ball of death. I also tried to hook up the cube to a macbook pro and had the same problems. ive used different cables and ports with no luck. i was able to transfer my data from the imac to the mbp and that worked fine. I have used Diagnostic software(Tech tools deluxe, Disc utility, and some other 3rd party soft ware) on all three computers and nothing came up. HELP. i really want my information from my cube on my iMac!
thanks!
