[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1765214"] Also, had you already created an account when you ran Migration Assistant? If so, MA will NOT put the data into that account (it's a security thing) but will create a new account. From your description, that sounds like what happened. Once we figure out how to get it back to original condition, the first time you boot, you will be offered the chance to migrate BEFORE it asks you if you want to create an account. Take that opportunity to do the migration and the files/folders will arrive in YOUR account, with the account name being the same as on the Windows machine. And welcome to the Mac world! [/QUOTE]
