[QUOTE="lclev, post: 1632115, member: 307555"] All you want to do is access your data on the old drive right? Remove the hard drive from the old macbook, put it in an external usb hard drive enclosure, attach it to your new Macbook AIr through a usb port on the Air and access it like any other external drive. You just boot the Air using it's own SSD and version of OS X. No need to boot the old OS on the old hard drive. Lisa [/QUOTE]
