[X4U] New Mac Upgrade

[Brett Conlon]

Setting a Mac to target disc mode and connecting it via Firewire does 
nothing more than allows the hard drive of that computer to mount as if it 
was an external hard drive.

As far as I remember, when it asks you to boot your old Mac in target disc 
mode, ignore these instructions and just connect the external drive. You 
can then choose the startup drive when asked by Migration Assistant.

Cheers,

Re: [X4U] New Mac Upgrade






Aha!!  But therein lies the twist!!

The reason that I am upgrading is because the Firewire port on my Titanium 
is burned out, hence no Target mode.  Now! That being said, I DO have an 
external enclosure that I can toss my Titanium harddrive into.  Will 
Migration Assistant work if I stick my drive in an enclosure?

Thanks!!
