[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1624925, member: 46727"] I'm not sure I understand what's on that drive now. If it was used as a Time Machine drive and had a full backup of your old machine that was current, all you had to do was attach the drive to the new Mac and let the automatic Migration Assistant move the data over for you. Thats the correct way. But now you tell us that the shop (assuming a repair shop) put recovered data on the drive along with the Time Machine backup. Did they overwrite the Time Machine backup? They (the repair shop) must have used recovery software to extract data from your old Mac and then put it on the Time Machine drive in its recovered format. The problem with that is most recovery software will recover data and label it like you stated. It can be a load of work trying to figure out what is what. Your best bet is to try to use the Time Machine backup to recover from if it's still intact. And if the Time Machine backup is current. [/QUOTE]
