I am trying to transfer my data over from another Mac book Pro to my new Mac Book Pro. The old one has a broken disk, I went through utilities and tried to repair it and it said I had to wipe it clean because it wasn't repairable. I keep getting the kernel error on the start up and I can't even load to the desktop. When I plug in the thunderbolt cord and hold t on the computer I am transferring from, it makes the connection. I can see my library/applications/etc but when I click on users and leave it to load it just never loads. Am I doing something wrong? I would really appreciate any help!
Got a tip for us?

It does sound like you are doing anything wrong at all. It just sounds like you have a bad drive. You could try pulling the drive out and putting it in an external enclosure then using a tool like Disk Warrior to recover files off the disk.
