After failed Big Sur upgrade and manual High Sierra installation, I have two disks : "Update" and "iMac_SSD - Data". How do I fix this?

[QUOTE="jaxx67367346, post: 1909897, member: 411962"] Hi there, Many thanks for your answer. I am currently manually saving (copy/pasting) the data from the "iMac_SSD - Data" to an external drive. It should take a few hours. However, i often have to type my password to "allow" the copying. I am also unable to navigate the files on the "iMac_SSD - Data". I see that the files are "blocked" (?) on the SSD disk [[URL='https://i.imgur.com/f0NB0ft.png']Screenshot[/URL]]. Thus, I am wondering how easy/convenient it will be to actually restore the data afterwards. Am I at risk of not being able to recover the data duplicated on the external drive? That is why I'm wondering if there's a way to avoid such restoration, by keeping the data and reinstalling the OS correctly. Again, many thanks for your help! [/QUOTE]
