[QUOTE="cobrien79, post: 695888, member: 61840"] [COLOR="DarkRed"]Hello, Just very recently I used Migration Assistant to transfer every single piece of data from one internal drive to another, G4 Tower 450Mhz, 512MB RAM 32MB Graphics. I actually purchased 2 new 80GB drives for this machine and installed one at a time. using Tiger it worked like a Gem. Thing is I also have a very high end machine, Mac Pro 2x3.2 Quad Core Xeon, 16GB RAM, 1.5GB Graphics all the bells and whistles etc, running Leopard Server. I also have 4x1TB internal drives. What I want to do is transfer all my user accounts and data etc to one of my spare internal drives, but Migration Assistant does not see or read any of the internal drives? Can someone please advise what I can do to complete this? I just think it's a bit crazy that I can do it using a Mac that's almost 10 years old (The G4) but not on a new machine that I purchased in January? I'm not sure if it's to do with the drives in the Mac Pro are SATA and the ones in the G4 were IDE? or is it a software issue? or maybe the way the drives are formatted? I have 2 of the Internal Drives formatted as Extended Journaled, the other 2 are running XP and Vista Ultimate, all on the Mac Pro. The only reason why I want to use Migration is because it went so smoothly with Tiger on the G4 and the data was all transferred without any problems in a short period of time, so I wanted to apply this to my new machine... so far... nada!
