Q: Why does the"Looking for source..." message go on FOREVER? The macbook doesn't seem to recognize my hard drive!

I'm migrating a new 15" Macbook Pro  with retina display - using Time Machine.

 

I've started Migration Assistant on the new mac and selected to transfer info from Time Machine.

 

After I click continue, I get a "Looking for source..." message that goes on FOREVER.

 

My hard drive is connected to my new macbook with a USB cable.

 

(I'm migrating this way because I don't have a Thunderbolt adapter.)

 

What am I doing wrong? Has this happened to anyone else?

 

L

MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X Mavericks (10.9)
