Thanks freemedia2018, your explanation helped me understand it a bit. I’m a newbie so much of the terminology goes over my head so this was helpful.
I’m cautiously optimistic that maybe the hard drive is okay on the student’s machine and fingers crossed it continues to work fine until mid-December when he’ll be finished exams. As of last week all was fine.
Interestingly I had another HD that gave the same prompt so once I found and used the steps above on that earlier laptop I brought this HD back with me from South Africa to Canada to see if I could rehabilitate it. I put it into a laptop that was given to me without the hard drive and did the same steps as my post above. So far so good, it’s working and I’m trying out LL 4.0 on it.
We’ll see if it gives me that prompt again in future...
