for future reference, what is "GPT iso MBR"? that wasn't, by the way, the
source of the problem -- the initial drive was failing and needed to be
replaced.

ha! what a coincidence -- i checked the archives last night. though looking
now, i see a post a few hours ago from leslie but not the post you
mention. i do find a note from him from march 2020 -- is that the one you
meant?
from that note i get the sense that there's no fixing it but it's no
problem. which raises the question -- why, then, is the error thrown at
all?
