Apr 4, 2016 7:28 AM in response to Tony@Folkloreby Linc Davis,Please press and hold the power button for a few seconds until the power shuts off, then release, wait a few more seconds, and press it again briefly to restart. Test. If you're trying to migrate directly from the old system and the migration wasn't successful, back up the old system with Time Machine or Disk Utility and try migrating from the backup.

Apr 4, 2016 9:15 AM in response to Linc Davisby Tony@Folklore,Thanks for the suggestion. I'm going to wait until I've given Migration Assistant a full 48 hours to transfer the 850gb. I've already invested so much time I'd hate to abandon the effort and have to start over, but if it's still grinding away at 48 hours I'll follow your suggestion.
