Guys, Further to my previous email the issue has been solved. It appears the drive i was going to copy to unmounted itself after it had just mounted. The copy went to /Volumes/ as a folder. I guess I will need to look at writing a line to verify the mount prior to copy as well as determine why the disk wanted to dismount itself Kind Regards, David -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
