So, back to square one, since that drive has got so much space on it, I suggest that you reformat it - just in case - with multiple partitions sufficient for Time Machine and several OS versions.
I forgot how to do all that. I'll get to it eventually. I don't use Time Machine. Also, I thought you ditched Time Machine, or was that someone else?
The "Edit" button used to be available for 24 or 48 hours, but that was changed to 30 minutes a few months back to force belated edits into new posts so they'd be seen rather than lost in the shuffle. [/quote]
Thanks for that. I also thought I'd lost my mind when I couldn't find the edit button!
