However, things have moved on a bit. I finally found this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1550 The symptoms described seem to match my daughter's problems. I used my daughter's Macbook to reinitialise the disk with the GUID partition scheme and so far it seems to be OK. Given that this is a known issue, I'm a little surprised that Time Machine doesn't check if the disk uses MBR partition types and issue a warning. -- cliveb Transporter -> ATC SCM100A ------------------------------------------------------------------------ cliveb's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=348 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=89000 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
