Hi,
I am trying to back up my old (OS X 5.8) laptop with Time Machine on a new external drive, with the intention of migrating the data to my new Macbook Pro from there. The Time Machine won't back up, just gives me an error message that 'an error has occurred'. Is it possible to simply copy the entire HD (programs and all) to the clean external HD and install onto the new laptop from there?
Thanks,
Banliz
