[QUOTE="techiesteve, post: 1532506, member: 98520"] First do a get info on your son's hard drive to see how much storage space is free. Then a get info on your user folder in your old drive. If there is sufficient space to take your user and leave more than 10% free you can use migration assistant to migrate your user. This is only feasible if your son's MacBook Pro is using the same version of OS X as yours or newer. If all goes well you will be able to log out of your son's account and into yours. This won't effect his account. Let us know how you get on. [/QUOTE]
