Happy New Year to you, too.

Have you tried to reboot the system?

 

Nat

Thankyou falko re-boot was the answer.

I wonder if you might point me to a howto to encrypt a external usb hard drive?
I CANNOT boot into the external hard drive because of my BIOS on my labtop does not have this facility, I can only
save data on to the hard drive.
