[QUOTE="bumbleboo, post: 1671927, member: 46838"] Hi there Harry, I think you will be in bed now so sleep well and see you in the morning! I have various software problems and now having installed extra RAM to 16GB and a 1Tb SSD internal storage and restored everything from Time Machine I am taking your advice to do a complete clean reinstall from the ground upwards. I just thought I would seek advice before I format the drive and start again with a clean OS installation. I also want to install a BootCamp partition because I tried the Paralles software for running Windows and my Money programme that will only run under Windows and I had corrupted file problems! Six months of data must be reinserted! Under Bootcamp it works fine. Is there anything I should do to prepare the machine for a clean life? I did look at Disk Utility and it seemed that the format drive was greyed out! So maybe I have to format from the Terminal? Anyway am sure you'll have a few ideas for me! Thanks mate and sorry the Ashes are coming home ...................... to the motherland!!! Cheers, Colin Don't cry in your beer it's only a game! :Mischievous: [/QUOTE]
