I have two very similar iMac G5s, both 2ghz, both OSX 10.4.11. When connecting by Firewire and following the steps in Migration Assistant, I get no disks appearing on the destination machine, I get Cannot Connect error message, any ideas? Ethernet would not connect, or I am doing it wrong. The source machine will not burn DVDs so that option is out.

Tim, are you putting the source iMac in FireWire Target Disk mode?

Yes and Yes. Just got back with a USB flash drive, it appears to be copying okay, let's see if it will install to the other hard drive too.

A big thanks to Mike Eby, the USB did the trick, none of thee iMac "experts" here locally suggested that, probably because they would not make any money with it.............
