Hi.
I recently got a new hard drive and I was wanting to transfer all the stuff from my old hard drive to my new one.
I couldn't use Migration Assistant because the other computer i stuck my old hard drive in didn't have firewire. So booting off an os 9 disk (yes its an old computer) i could only use the chooser to manually move files from my old hard drive to the new one using AppleShare and Ethernet. The problem I am having is replacing the new Library folder with the one in my old hard drive.
I assume I have to do this in single user mode, since files in the library folder are always in use.
Anyone know how?
Thanks.
