But when I check my internal drive it shows as above – empty.Ī couple of other odd things: after one crash I rebooted into Safe Mode and the display had 'split' down the middle, and moved horizontally so that the left and right sides of the display met in the middle. I then successfully cloned the internal drive to a partition on the external one, which, using cmnd-I now says: So I tried a different Express Card – and that worked! (So much for the Lacie one…). Returning to it the next day, I could not mount the Lacie drive again. It had only copied a few folders and not even the contents. After just a few minutes it said it had finished, with one error. I had great difficulty getting the drive to mount, but when it finally did I immediately erased and partitioned it and started the cloning using Carbon Copy Cloner 3.4.5. I dug out a 3TB Lacie USB3 drive which I connected using a Lacie USB3 Express Card. But then all seemed well and I decided to clone the internal drive to an external drive to preserve it, prior to upgrading the internal OS. No more beeps but still the occasional crash – one with thick pink and white vertical lines. I took the back off and cleaned out 8 years worth of dust and fluff and removed and reseated the RAM. Later, a complete freeze followed by 3 loud beeps, repeating every few seconds. A couple of weeks ago I experienced odd crashes: first lots of fine vertical lines before the screen went blank. I have resisted upgrading for fear of losing the use of some old apps. ![]() I have a Late 2011 MacBook Pro running Lion OS 10.7.5. But in fact I've used around 150GB so there is around 600GB available. The only correct thing here is the capacity. My single 750GB internal drive is reporting the opposite, and it's gobbledegook. ![]() I've seen plenty of posts about drives appearing full (using cmnd-I), when they are not.
