[QUOTE="techiesteve, post: 1545957, member: 98520"] Good to hear your sorted the problem. There are many very useful terminal commands you can find listed on the web. A few weeks ago I was trying to reinitialise a customers 3TB fusion drive due to an unresolvable OS issue, every terminal command failed. That was resolved by cutting through the sticky VHB strips, removing the LCD, removing the 3TB HD, reinitialising in a caddy attached to another Mac, initialising without issues, then reassembling (an Apple suggestion). Firing up disk utility prompted to recreate the fusion drive and a clean OS was installed. I don't want to see any more like that, glad yours wasn't too involved. Panic over. [/QUOTE]
