[QUOTE="robduckyworth, post: 1203399, member: 184879"] so what you have is her User folder on an external drive, with everything underneath it (i.e Music, movies, Documents and so on?) why dont you just plug in the external with those files on it, then create a new account on your working macbook under her name, then drag the corresponding files over? i wouldn't recommend dragging the whole user folder on top of the new one, could cause conflicts in Apps that you have installed and so on. im hoping ive understood your question correctly?
