[QUOTE="immdb, post: 55472, member: 1238"] If you don't have the install cd and you have another computer with firewire, you can use the "Target Mode" feature. To transfer files using FireWire: 1. Shut down the first computer (sister's computer) and leave the second computer on. 2. Connect the two computers using a 6-pin to 6-pin FireWire cable. (If both computers have higher-speed FireWire 800 ports in addition to the standard FireWire 400 ports, you can use a 9-pin to 9-pin cable with the FireWire 800 ports to transfer data at higher speeds.) 3. Start up the first computer while holding down the T key. A disk icon for the first computer appears on the desktop on the second computer. Drag files to and from the disk to transfer them. 4. When you finish, eject the first computer's disk by dragging its icon to the Trash. 5. Push the power button on the first computer to shut it down and disconnect the FireWire cable. [/QUOTE]
