On the bright side, the laptop is capable of running or dual-booting into Windows, if I bought that OS.

This whole conversion would have been a whole lot easier if I'd only been migrating from one machine as, presumably, most people would do.

Yes - the migration from pone machine to another is much easier than this. I've done it something like 5 times in the last 5 years and it's always been painless.

You seem to be doing most of the right things - disk utility is very useful and there are a lot of permissions that might need sorting, so this could solve a lot of your problems.

Disk Utility fixed many permissions, none of them obviously affecting the things I've been having problems with. I'm trying other solutions.

You've been upgrading every single year? At work or on your own machines?

Lets see if I can get the chronology right...

First mac (powerbook) 2001

Powermac workstation 2004 - transfer powerbook to it

iMac at home 2004 - transfer powerbook to it

New powerbook Jan 2005 - transfer old powerbook to it

Disk failure on powerbook - transfer powermac to it

So maybe its only 4 times :-) All but one are work machines.
