      I note a beta 1 version of TB for Android posted on MajorGeeks.com FYI.

      Mouse,

      I think that definition still connotes “excessive” or “unctuous.”

      Rebooted once; no change. However, I was able to find my desktop in the location suggested by Sudo.

      All is well; thanks for the help.

      Fulsome means “disgusting.”

      Gary,
      I agree with Alex; also, if you look at each folder’s Properties, are you using “size,” or “size on disk“??

      Bob,

      Power supply failures are not that uncommon. It’s a good idea to have an (inexpensive) power supply tester. I’ve got one from Antec. You simply plug in the main motherboard connector to the tester and “power-up.”

      Deo,

      This is the reason all drives in use should have a LABEL along with their letter (e.g., [C:]System), because of this sort of drive letter switching during a restore.

      You might want to check that all your memory sticks are firmly seated. Perhaps that was the problem which you solved by your use of the “11-inch solution.”

      Hammer,

      ?Are you sure your upload speed is limited to 25 GB/min?  I just measured mine (pretty fast downloads) at 0.31 GB/min.

      None worked for me:

      CMD (admin) parroted the command

      Powershell (admin) returned the location prompt

      Registry did not have a backup key.
