[QUOTE="adetrade, post: 1330241, member: 174107"] Thank you in advance for any advice, I'll try and keep this clear on what I would like to achieve....but first a bit of background... Splitting up with girlfriend and we share a MacBook, 320gb HDD, upgraded from original 120gb HDD (currently in an USB enclosure used as an external drive) running Snow Leopard, which I have agreed she can have as I'm going to purchase a new MBPro in near future. We have separate user accounts, but I have data (Photos, Documents etc.) in her account but not in mine, which I want to keep. I use Time Machine to backup to an external firewire HDD 250gb, which is at capacity (245gb); and I have an Airport Extreme, with a 1.5tb HDD connected which I use as a media drive. So here is where I want to end up, which I think is the easiest way to understand a route of how I might get there.... I want to give her the MB with the original 120mb HDD reinstalled and only her user account installed with administrator privileges, no trace of my user account. I want to store all my data on the 1.5tb HDD until I buy MBPro, next month, and be able to put my user account on it, having merged the two user accounts. Hope this is clear and someone can help me work out a method of doing it. Thanks in advance. [/QUOTE]
