[QUOTE="RavingMac, post: 1322699, member: 45350"] I've already given the best advice I know, which is to connect the two Macs with a FireWire cable and boot the old Mac in Target mode. I've done it that way five times and never had a problem. EDIT: One thing, just checked, is the Mac Mini switched from FW400 to FW800 in 2009. If your Mini is older model you probably have only a FW400 port so you will either need an adapter or get a cable with FW400 on one end and FW800 on the other. [/QUOTE]
