[QUOTE="shazdust, post: 1590553, member: 328630"] Thanks bobtomay... I have a 1TB hard drive with 642GB free so it's not even half full. I am backed up regularly so loss of info isn't an issue. I tried booting to the recovery partition as you suggested but all that achieved was me sitting in front of a black screen for 7 minutes (I timed it) and then giving up. When I rebooted, the screen again came up almost black but then a faint apple appeared in the background and then my desktop arrived in full colour and at full brightness. Very strange. So anyway, was unable to boot into Recovery mode. Don't know what a bootable clone is sorry. I use time machine for backup. [/QUOTE]
