  The !! WARNING !! has not shown up for a few day now. Should I still do the fix-disk? If so, how long does it take? Oh, I've just checked an the Wiki says "several hours". BTW when I selected the -y option it was not a recognised command.

  Hmm, as I said I've got a red WD on the way. Its one I gave to my son, which has done about eight months as part of a media server PC. I might just get a "pukka" one and save myself any grief down the road.

12. Using an SSD to copy files from T2.
  
  I've only got around to having another go at this today. I've swapped the SSD for a 2.5" 500 Gbyte HDD, also formatted to FAT32, and it works fine, so it looks like its just the SSD that is the problem. I'll have another play with the SSD when I have the time.
