[QUOTE="Jonzjob, post: 1747752, member: 149248"] All of the USB sticks are configures so as to be bootable installers. It was the Sierra USB stick that failed, but when I used the El Capitan USB it loaded OK. Then, when I tried to reload the Carbon Copy Cloner I screwed it up and finished up partitioning the SSD yet again. I then realised that I had been really stupid and I have a CCC backup from 2 days ago. I had taken it before I did anything else. So I put mt brain cell in gear, deselected everything in the line of photos, videos, audio, etc. and did a CCC reload. Now I have a maching operating perfectly from the SSD with all of the pther folders and files on the 'old' SSHD. When I am sure that everything is truely OK I will take the system folders off of the SSHD and redirect my iTunes liberary to said SSHD and all should be well? A question? Everyone calls the 'Alt' key the 'Option' key. I know that is what it used to be called, but my Macs are 2010 machines, 7 years old. People who are just getting into the enlightened feild of Macs have no idea what the 'Option' key is? So why the **** not call it the 'Alt' key? It's even called that when you look at the Apple help pages. Here on your link BoB "Reset the SMC on Mac notebook computers Shut down your Mac. Unplug the MagSafe or USB-C power adapter from your computer. Using the built-in keyboard, press Shift-Control-[U][I][B]Option[/B][/I][/U] on the left side of the keyboard, then press the power button at the same time. Hold these keys and the power button for 10 seconds." [/QUOTE]
