This is one answer I can really understand, my goodness ! Every other time when you all talk about volumes and other odd stuff and booting from God knows what other device, I shake my head and thank God I only have one Lacie extra, and my 3 computers just are connected in some fashion that everything happens everywhere. My back- ups are not what they need to be, but then I don't have a business , either, so what gets lost, just gets lost, I will surely soon be lost to this world, too. Marta
