[QUOTE="Slydude, post: 995610, member: 131855"] TheProxy's suggestion of installing from the DVD then running Migration Assistant will work. I've done something similar myself. Assuming that your current installation is up-to-date louishen's suggestion of cloning the current drive should take less time since the updates will already be installed and won't need to be downloaded again. If I remember correctly a couple of those updates were rather large. [/QUOTE]
