Bay 4: Clone of Bay 3.

When I start up in TDM, which drive will Setup Assistant in the new iMac see? I want to migrate from Bay 3.



I would expect to see 1 (as it has backups that can be restored from which the migration can use as a source), not 2 (since it has no os/user folders), 3 (probably where you want to migrate from) and 4 (since it is a copy of 3, which may be a little confusing, hopefully you named it different than 3)
