I did not choose to install a MBR, maybe this is some default? Killing all the install processes BEFORE they did anything should not cause a problem. Looking back over several years' notes I think this is a USB 3.0 problem. USB 3.0 is why I switched to Linux. It is necessary for some of my projects. I want to use FreeBSD because everything else is becoming windoze. I will wait until USB 3.0 is fixed... Tom Dean
