Migration assistant trouble


i bought mbp 13" (snow leopard). didn't have cable migration assistant, created account , used mbp bit see if worked fine.
got cable (network), connected directly between imac (leopard updated), , chose move files , user (not apps).
morning found message "connection lost". checked cables, tried again, same message.
chose "cancel".
past 40 minutes, seems stuck on "cancelling migration. less minute" in mbp, , still showing "transferring system configuration, less minute" in imac.

questions:
- mac doing? erasing copied files?
- normal take long? how long can expect in state?
- do? wait or restart mbp power button?
- do after cancelling? read in forum people recommend clean install, reinstalling apps, copying doc manually best performance (i have years of junk in imac, product of migration previous computer)

help!!! :)
