Thanks Brad, I’m still a little confused about the reformatting process. I see where it says select delete APS up volume from the edit menu, and then I’m supposed to delete the Mac HD data? I’m really not clear on the steps that you take here could you maybe clarify I can find the Mac HD and Mac HD dadoes volumes in the internal drive section but what do I do? Do I highlight Mac HD first and then select the delete a PSF from the edit menu? Please give me a step-by-step if you would thanks
