This happened to me with my G4 Quicksilver with two disk drives, my primary drive running 10.3.9 Panther. Making the QS the target from a then new G4 iBook running Tiger and then from an aluminum iMac running Leopard gave me only the three volumes on my secondary QS drive. My work around was to be running the Quicksilver and making the new machines the target. I was able to do the quick transfers of the Users folder. Migration Assistant was useless. I copied my email folders to the desktop of the new machines along with the mail preferences, as previously described in an earlier thread. http://groups.google.com/group/g3-5-list/t/aabee6132bfc9e3e?hl=en Then I imported the old mail into the new machines' Mail, along with the preferences which gave me the email accounts. I also captured my Safari bookmarks from the old preferences. Thinking back on this, I probably could have copied the Users folder from the QS primary drive to one of the secondary drive's volumes and let the new machines use the secondary volume.
