[QUOTE="indigit4l, post: 1877092, member: 137776"] Thank you ferrarr. Duh, that sounds a bit promising; I will try that. And it's a bootable Catalina USB, not just the installer - which you probably meant, just making sure in case that's helpful. It should be something to try since it is the full OS. And also, his Mac is/was running Big Sur, and so were the others. Since the other task is to replace the internal HD with an SSD, I'm going to go ahead and do that. And circle back to the data, since I can always just plug in the old drive with an adapter. I'll post if that does or doesn't help, for sure. [/QUOTE]
