Tony /Jason / Stephen Many thanks guys for your help on this. Everything is working just fine now. In the end it was all very simple.

You’re right Tony, the message about being read-only was a WD Utility message, presumably just stuck on to their “Discovery” interface to bewilder old guys like me.
