[QUOTE="Seventh, post: 1043433, member: 126122"] Yep, definitely learned this the hard way. It didn't help that my iTunes library was in my Documents folder and was around ~250GB either, but we live and we learn. I used it on my MBP as well (both at the same time) and spent the next day unencrypting everything. Shame, because it seems like such a good idea if it wasn't so dodgy. Thanks for the input all - turns out it was a matter of patience on my end. The ex-Windows guy in me was used to hitting the key once. Holding it down through the entire boot cycle did the trick, and after a repair my Finder/app woes have (so far) been non-existant. Cheers! :) [/QUOTE]
