Gone away from the time machine theory. The disk checked out OK and even if I switch Time Machine off, the problem still occurs. Strangely though, Disk Utility reports no problems on my main hard drive. Seems like it should have come up with something if the disk was going bad. The problem ha

I'm a little suspicious of Time Machine too. In the process of verifying the drive right now. Pete lcSQL Software On Tue, Jul 9, 2013 at 5:17 PM, Mark Wieder wrote: > Peter Haworth writes: > > > > > Thanks Pierre, I'm afraid it's looking like I will have to get a new h
