[QUOTE="dutchswims, post: 1254769, member: 205195"] I'll re-explain it. I just bought a new HDD to go into my MBP. It doesn't have an external enclosure so I am using my back up drive as an intermediary between the two. The goal is to get my account onto the new HDD but I can't because it's fire vaulted and I can't undo the fire vault because I don't have the space on the existing HDD. What I am trying now is to move my music library separately from old HDD to the back up intermediary drive, to the new HDD which I will install in my computer to copy over the music Library. The idea then being I could put back in the old HDD, delete the 50 GB music library and successfully convert my fire vaulted HDD back to a regular format, back it up to my intermediary drive, and then restore it all onto the new HDD. I'm sorry I probably just made that way more confusing! [/QUOTE]
