So i finally upgraded yesterday. I have a mid 2009 13" mbp.
I put in a 120 gig intel 320 sdd (opti bay) and a 320 hdd in the regular hdd spot, thus removing a 160 gig hdd.
Anywho, got a clean install of lion on the sdd. I took out the original 160 gig hdd and it is now an external drive. I used migration assistant to transfer apps over (following a guide it said if I wanted to move my home folder to the 320 gig hdd, don't transfer the user yet).
Migration assistant worked and I had settings and all my apps on my new sdd.
Then I must have done something or changed a user account or something, because all my settings are gone. My apps are still on the drive, but for example they don't show up on the dock.
One thing I did was moved the home folder to the hdd. I want to migrate my data from the old hdd home folder to the new 320 gig hdd. At this point it with my user setting all screwed up, would it be easier to start over, or can I salvage this and get my home folder transferred over.
To sum this up, I have my old hdd (system and user files) on an firewire external. I have a complete TM back up of the same system.
I have a fresh install of lion on sdd with only my apps and settings migrated over that don't show up on my new sdd.
Any ideas?
