Lost data using migration assistant for MB Air
I used migration assistant to transfer SD! data from backup drive to new Macbook Air (June 2011). All the data made it except for a number of crucial documents on my Favorites folder on the Finder sidebar. Now the Favorites folder is unresponsive (cannot be selected) and the original data is missing. Unfortunately, I backed up the new MB Air to the same backup drive using SD! Now I have two drives with missing data and no other backups. Is there a way to recover the missing data?

If you boot from the original backup, is the data there? I don't know why things would be "unresponsive" - remember, of course, that the shortcuts are referring to regular files on your drive...
|
I haven't tried booting from the backup drive, which I will do shortly. The backup drive does not show any of the missing files.
|
Sorry, I just realized I can't boot from the backup drive--MB Air only has USB connectivity--last time I checked, SD! booted only via Firewire.
|
No, Intel Macs can boot from USB or FireWire. Power PC Macs can't boot from USB.
|
The missing data is not on the backup drive (which is overwritten). I'm having someone retrieve the lost data from the hard drive, if possible.
|
The backup drive was overwritten during this process?
