[QUOTE="baggss, post: 230964, member: 6762"] Ok, try this: 1 Boot the mini normally, with the monitor connected and the firewire cable connected to the Sawtooth. Leave the Sawtooth off. 2. When the Mini is booted up and you are all logged in etc, disconnect the monitor and hook it up to the Sawtooth. 3. Boot the Sawtooth, while booting, hold down the T key on the Sawtooth's keyboard. 4. You should see the Bouncing/floating Firewire icon on the Sawtooth screen. This means the Sawtooth has booted into firewire mode. 5. Hook the monitor back up to the Mini. You should see the normal Mini desktop as you saw before, plus the Hard Disc icon from the Sawtooth. 6. Assuming #5 above works correctly, you can now run migration assistant on the Mini. No action is required on the Sawtooth, everything from here on will be done from the Mini. 7. Follow the on-screen instructions that migration assistant will provide you on the Mini. [/QUOTE]
