re: #9 Charles Johnson

Ergh. One of my Mac’s internal hard drives failed. Just vanished, didn’t even get a SMART report. It doesn’t even show up in a Disk Warrior drive scan.

Gotta shut down, pull it out, and try plugging it into my dock. Doesn’t look promising, though.

Good thing I was backing up the important stuff with Time Machine - this drive has all my VMWare Fusion Windows installations.

Hope you’re familiar with SpinRite. (It’s Steve Gibson’s bread and butter.)
