[QUOTE="EvenStranger, post: 1167930, member: 181804"] Target disk mode bypasses the operating system and turns your computer into a dumb hard drive. At that point, all you need to do is connect it to your main computer with a firewire cable, run Migration Assistant and follow the prompts. Once you are finished, eject the drive from your main computer as you would any external hard drive (Command-E, drag to the trash, File->Eject, etc.), disconnect the cable and press the power button on the old computer to power it down.
