[QUOTE="ArkyMac, post: 1631307, member: 340674"] Update: Success. But was hard to come by. In the end I managed to get OS X Utilities to run a copy of my current HD onto a second external (not the one with my Time Machine) despite my first attempts to do this failing. Using a different Mac I played around with the read-write functions on the external and this seemed to make the difference. So copied my HD, then went to my month old TM and restored all my files and my old (Mtn Lion) system on the iMac. When this was done it ran perfectly, and the few files not backed up on TM were there on the clone of the HD that I made on 2nd external. So all ended well after two days of ****. Will be thinking a long time before I try to download Yosemite again. [/QUOTE]
