Today I fired up the Mac Pro ready to upload my images from the GTG and oops, there was a glitch. The computer was not always booting up correctly, suggesting problems with the start-up hard drive. Uh-oh..... Once the thing was running correctly I immediately backed up all my images which were on it and also ran a disk utility check. Had to go out for a while this evening and I've got a busy weekend ahead so am thinking that I might not get to actually upload and begin processing my images until late Sunday or at the beginning of next week! :frown: First item of business is to make a clone of my HD, which is the bootup drive, and then from there do some swapping around so that I am sure that I have a more reliable drive before I upload those images. I have them still on the CF cards and also on my external drives that I had with me on the trip and could process them on one of my other machines but really prefer to use my Mac Pro for this. So stay tuned, folks!
