Btw, does anyone know how to stop target disk mode only allowing me to access one of my HDD's?

I have 2 HDD's in my old mac, one is 120GB and one is 40GB. Whenever i launch in TDM i only get the 40GB mounting on the new mac.

How can i see my main HDD? (the 120GB)

Thats not good news. So far, none of the 'well known' probs have happened on mine. Thought I have only had it for 4 hours!

Right, sorted.

With a bit of research, found an article that said sometimes TDM will only find the first drive on the IDE/ATA cable, and with my crazy HDD setup I had to do some quick internal surgery, but now TDM has found my drive and everythings copied!

Now its time to erase the old mac ready for re-sell. *sniff sniff*

This may be a little off topic and I am sorry, but what are some of the more "well known" issues with the MacBook Pro? My sister is about to get the 1.8 Ghz model, this will be her first mac and I dont want her to be turned off because of first gen issues. Thanks for any help. Im going to go use the search button now.
