Fixdisk caused HDR-FOX T2 to want to reformat the drive

Thanks for the advice re desktop. I hadn't appreciated I could use the Linux boot to fix the Windows drives. I will seek a primer.

Re adapter, I have two (one brand new), of different designs, with different power supplies and they both cause the fault. Not impossible for both to be faulty, but I already need to think ahead. The Commtrends may be cuplrits, and they are quite painful to diagnose. Or the router. Or the timers for lights etc. Or...

But we digress.
 
I thought the adapter may work with a bit of trail and error, but seeing something like this
I am not so sure!
 
Just to check in. I used a laptop this time, convinced it to see the USB drive and boot from it and got onto the System Rescue menu. I then tried the default option and the in-memory option and both of them finish with a black screen (no cursor, nothing). I am still to test the desktop (room hosts Covid case...) but I am not holding my breath. I think that's me and thank you all again.
