Dear Technogeezer,
It seems I am not quite out of the woods.
I cannot get Migration Assistant to import settings, apps and account files from an external drive/dock. Cannot find drive on Host desktop.
Alternatively, VMware see’s the external drive and a window states "The device 'Lion (ASMedia ASM1156-PM)' offers me the option of importing to Host or Guest then states "unable to connect to its ideal host controller.” I am warned connection may make MVware unstable. I go ahead and click import and that is the end of the process. No external drive icon on Guest Lion desktop. Finder has external disk ticked in preferences for visibility along with HDD and iMacs etc.
I tried with an old LaCie external drive with a complete boot clone of Lion. Same problem. Actually linking an old computer via USB is a bit difficult at this point in time. Perhaps that is the only option?
Cheers.
