yeah. that’s what I decided to do. it’s going quite well. the new owner has a
windows pc but I don’t know if rtfs is even an option when using a Mac to
reformat. I think fat will do the trick though.

ok. thanks. I was thinking about that old hard drive that I’m trying to move
stuff from and I think I did delete a couple of those troublesome windows files
so somewhere there probably is a trash although I haven’t found it yet. why
would this dialogue about locked items come up when I’m moving
oh I forgot to say: I don’t have a windows box any more. it was about half dead
when If finally stopped using it.

Hi,
Was the original drive formatted NTFS or FAT32? NTFS privileges can sometimes
affect your ability to copy or if there are Windows system files in the folder,
they can cause you grief. If you still have a Windows box, you could copy the
files back to it, format the drive FAT32 and then
Hi,
When a copy is happening, VO focus is usually on the Copy dialog. If it’s not
there automatically, press VO-f2-f2 to bring up the Window Chooser and the Copy
dialog will be one of your choices.

Hi,
I suggest that you just copy from one drive to another then. It’s no different
than moving, other than the files will remain on the original drive too. Once
the copy has finished, just format the old drive so that it is empty for the
next owner.

yep. that did it. now something else is going on that I don’t understand. when
I try to move folders to this one from my other drive, it says there are locked
items in the trash: do I want to move everything or just the nonsecure items or
the items that aren’t locked or whatever it it calls
where do I find the copy info when it’s happening? do I just vo-arrow around?

Hi,
For the source drive, how idd the items get put on it? From your Mac or from a
Windows machine? If from a Windows machine, don’t copy the items that have a
dot before the title if there are any and don’t copy items like “Recycler” or
“Trashes”. These sorts of items are not necessary and
the folders got put on the source drive with a windows machine. I’ave seen
those troublesome little files you’re talking about but not many of those got
on the source drive since I could turn it on and off.
I’ve been copying only 1 folder at a time. I get that dialogue every time I try

Hi,
When in Disk Utility, select the name of the actual HD, not the volume that
exists on it. It may say something like 2 TB WD blah blah blah. Stop
interacting with the table and select the Partition tab instead. Set the
number of partitions to one, set the format to XFAT or whatever you
somehow I set it as a partition so the erase failed because the media kit
doesn’t think I have a partition. how do I fix this?

what is the process called for doing this? I see first aid, erase, made or rate
or something like that and restore. I set it to the format I want but I can’t
figure out how to activate it.
Thanks.

First you need to Interact with the Disk selection table, navigate to the

format to XFAT, give the volume a name other than Untitled, press the Erase
button and confirm that you really want to do that.
