[QUOTE="tachikawatim, post: 1674456, member: 360688"] [b]Secure Erase fail solution[/b] I had the same problem. Here's what I did, and it worked: Restart, and while machine is restarting, hold down Command key and the R key simultaneously. Hold these both down until the Apple icon appears, then release both keys. Four options will come up-- choose Disk Utility. Continue with Erase Free Space procedure as usual. First attempt worked for me, after 6 months of frustration. Best of luck! Tim [/QUOTE]
