Not sure what the CLONE would do to get the HDD up and running. I have all my data backed-up with Time Machine on Time Capsule as well as an External Hard Drive.
Which leads me to Plan B . . .
Is it possible to use the old Time Capsule drive as a regular HDD? Can I reformat it to work as an external hard drive? That is, plug it directly into the back of the desktop with an ethernet cable (not Wi-Fi) and not use it for a back-up anymore (i.e. as a replacement for the internal HDD I cannot get working)?
