mac help!
Hi all,,,,
Had a bit of a scout and couldn't find the answer to my woes....
I got a new macbook pro 13" a few days ago, due to my old macbook pro (1st gen 15") dying.
I have removed the HDD from the old machine (which wouldn't even turn on).
I plugged the HDD into my PC (running windows 7) and it works (using macdrive 8 ). Now I would like to use migration assistant to get my apps and files from the disk. I have shared the disk and I can see it in finder on my new mac. However, when I run migration assistant on the machine and choose (from time machine or other disk) it doesn't find the virtual drive, or any drives for that matter.
How do I get all my stuff onto the new machine without having to painstakingly copy everything manually?

Re: mac help!
chuck the HDD into a 2.5" enclosure or get a sata->usb unit and plug it into your new mac.

I bought a cheap enclusure.... didn't work
If you think migration is a bad idea then I guess I can just transfer the files manually with the way it's set up now.

Yep, just like that.
Good opportunity to cut out the dead wood. When Migration Assistant fucked out on mine, it meant I left a bunch of useless shit on the old lappy. New start ftw.

Don't reckon I could work in IT. I went downstairs to the IT department the other day and the poor dears almost died of whiplash at the mere sound of my lady-shoes.
Would be too cruel tbh

Re: mac help!
I think your old mac died because of your faggotry with regards to computer migration.
It's time to accept that so you can move on.
