Using Migration Assistant MacBook Pro to Macbook issue



Hello everyone,

I am running a MBP with Leopard. My girlfriends Macbook (running
Tiger) has been acting very strange. It repeatedly crashes, hangs on
boot and has been running very slow. I have tried diagnosing the
issue but I turn up empty handed. This computer was purchased through
the internet roughly a year ago and because of this we do not have the
install disks. I have prior experience migrating a Tiger OS from one
Powerbook to another using Migration Assistant. I attempted to do the
same with her Macbook but to no avail. In her Macbook I open
Migration Assistant and advanced to the step where I am to boot up the
"old mac" (my Macbook Pro). The Migration Assistant on her computer
states that after I boot the MBP into Target disk mode that it is
"locating the drives." This is where I get stuck. It never seems to
locate the drive with OSX installed. Does anyone have any experience
transferring a Leopard OS to a Tiger laptop? Any help would be much
appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Sincerely,

Jesse Stein
