My iBook got fried yesterday, so I had to buy a mini bc I needed a Mac asap. I had an external FW backup from 2 weeks prior that I used in the initial 'new Mac old-system transfer' thingy. I've since gotten my old HD out of the dead 'Book, and I need to redo that little wizard (bc I don't have another Mac to use Target disk mode with).

I'm going to CompUSA to pickup a 2.5 to 3.5 cable so I can put my old HD into the FW enclosure. I have nothing of use on my new mini HD, so I'm thinking a clean and install from the restore disk will bring me to the new user account setup, then I can transfer my iBook HD and be back to yesterday.

Will this work?

nm. found it myself. never got to use the setup assistant before, so I wasn't sure.

for those searching, it's located in apps>utilities. you can also erase and install and it will give you the option again.
