[QUOTE="Mikeo1938, post: 1568457, member: 135375"] [b]HD icon[/b] Thanks again. You say: "Have tried a reboot not restart?" Well, I think I'll need my system disks for a reboot (yes?). I can't get at them for a couple of weeks because they're at another location. "Also in get info take note of the dates created." The dates are the same in both cases. "Do you have a backup program turned on but not connected to an external drive?" I use TM but the outboard drive has not been connected since my last b/up and this was last week. "Have you done anything in Finder when this happened?" Last night I was fiddling around with iPhoto and the scanner and may have done something hastily and in error. "Does this Mac have more than one Hard Drive ?" No, it has just the one HD; the outboard drive is connected only when I do a b/up with TM. M [/QUOTE]
