[QUOTE="Rod, post: 1637753, member: 204485"] Chas-m, the Mavericks installer was downloaded by the client from the App Store and a USB bootable installer created using DiskMaker 4b4 on his laptop at my advice and with my assistance because he was reluctant to upgrade at that time. During the following months his HD became corrupted (according to Disk Utility) and I advised him (as he did not have the original instal disks) that the easiest way to repair it would be to clean install Mavericks. He had performed a Time Machine backup a couple of months previous but had been unable to or unwilling to recently. So I am pretty confident that the TM backup was OK and he is only concerned about his iPhoto library anyway. As a further precaution I backed up his iPhoto library onto another brand new 500 Gb USB HD. So the question remains how to "Bless" the Macintosh HD given that I cannot boot from it? [/QUOTE]
