Would it be possible, please Dave, to have the answer to '3' in particular? I'm confused (as a non-programmer) as to exactly what the $3 and $4 means although suspect they are drive references. For example, in the Info pane of Disk Utility, I see that my Mac HD is described as 'disk1s3' and my FW rive as 'disk2s3', so would that be $1 and $2 in your code? Or what?
