As it needs to look for a Firewire connection it may not work but not 100% sure on that though. You could always setup the new drive, create the same User, then reboot over to the older user and replace the folders inside it with your current data. That may also work. I've done that on a couple of my machines, and then just repaired permissions, and it all worked fine. Not the best way, but still works well. :o) And always worth it as a last resort. Hope that helps. Kind Regards Daniel --- Daniel Kerr MacWizardry Phone: 0414 795 960 Email: <danielATmacwizardryDOTcomDOTau> Web: <http://www.macwizardry.com.au> **For everything Macintosh**
