[QUOTE="missallpc, post: 1765198, member: 394596"] Finally decided to make the switch. Tried the migration assistant twice (assuming I did it wrong the first time) but am very disappointed in the result. Now there are 3 users with some of the data in each account. Much of the files didn't transfer and what did was a mess. Most file/folder relationship was blown apart and machine was running dead slow. Decided to start from scratch and reload the OS. I followed the instructions and erased the disc but the reload would not start. Dialog box says "6 minutes remaining" but it never starts. Any insights (besides, "you shouldn't have done that") would be helpful. Thanks Paul [/QUOTE]
