My hard drive failed. I've had a new one installed professionally. I was told that I shouldn't restore the new computer/drive from my time machine back up because it might be corrupted and can copy over the corruption.
Fair enough. But is there anything I can do to make the transfer of info easier? Upon star-up of the new drive/system, I'm on the "Do you own a mac?" screen. Is there any way to transfer anything via this process? Or should I just start new and begin the manual copy/transfer process? And if I need to do things manually, is there a link with onfo on making that process easier?
Thanks for any help you can give.
