[QUOTE="techiesteve, post: 1551399, member: 98520"] If your hard drive became corrupted you will have problems migrating or copying the data off. Have you tried booting from the MacBook's Leopard install DVD and running disk utility repair disk on the hard drive? What does disk utility report? You can also buy a cheap USB external drive case to mount your MacBooks hard drive into, then attach to your new Mac.Then attempt to copy your data off. If your old drive isn't seen or you get errors when copying, run disk utility repair disk over the drive. Does this fix the problem, if not what error does it report? [/QUOTE]
