Hello one and all,
I recently bought and installed a new HDD into my late 2009 MBP am trying to transfer everything over. I have it all backed up to an external disk. When I go into migration assistant, I can't swap my profile over because my profile is backed up with fire vault. When I re-enter my original HDD and try to deactivate the fire vault, it tells me "Turning off fire vault requires an additional 88.4 GB of free disk space on the volume '***'. Try emptying the Trash or deleting files you don't need." Well I'm not exactly a file pack rat so I definitely do not have 88.4 GB of extra files laying around. And the reason I am trying to switch out HDD is because as you may be able to tell, I am flat out of room in my HDD. Any suggestions? I'm not afraid to go into all of the fun stuff inside my mac so just about anything with enough instructions will work!
Thanks for reading through and hopefully thanks for an answer!
