[QUOTE="harryb2448, post: 1426486, member: 42497"] Unfortunately as you have found out Migration Assistant causes problems with some larger applications, notable Adobe and Microsoft Office and it is usual to have to re-activate the programs. You have there the Snow Leopard disc? Boot from that and erase the hard drive formatting Mac OS Extended (Jourrnalled), into partition and select one single partition. Run the installer and update to OS X.6.8, go into the App Store, hold down Option and hit purchases and Lion will come up. Double click to download another version. Can't help with re-installing those programs sorry without the CD and activation codes. [/QUOTE]
