How are his drives configured on the MDD G4 - is there more than 1 in there?
If so, that's where Migration Assistant, and more than that, FireWire Target Disk Mode, fall flat on their face.

Can't remember exactly. There's the stock 80 GB in its normal place and I think a 500 GB in some other position. I can't remember whether the 80 GB is still the startup drive, but even if it is there's a ton of stuff on the 500 that needs to come over too. Some idiot set her up with the 500 and partitioned it into 5 (she never figured out what to do with that.)
I think this is going to be messy no matter how you play it. I've been wanting to get her back to one volume and one backup for a long time.
