Hi all,
My MbP HD recently corrupted and I hadn't backed up for a while (now I know the value of 30s setting up time machine!) but I managed to copy everything to an external USB drive in single-user mode, format the HD and reinstall OS X.
The data appears to have transferred fine and is perfectly usable, and I now want to migrate my old system onto my new system to keep all my apps etc. Unfortunately being a bit of a computer luddite I hadn't considered file systems when backing up. The backup disc is a .dmg but in FAT32 format, which I assume is the reason Migration Assistant doesn't recognise it as an importable entity.
Is there a way to convert this FAT32 .dmg to HFS+ ?? At the moment I'm copying the image to an HFS+ drive to see what mounting it there will do.
