Hi,

Ever since I tried to create an install disc on a USB thumb drive using a few command line commands my time machine tries to back up to this disc (the install disc created on the thumb drive) even though the time capsule is chosen as the backup disc in the time machine settings. Any help remedying this situation would be greatly appreciated! :(:confused:

I used the following in the command line to create the thumb drive install disc:

hdiutil convert -format UDRW -o /Users/0-rs/Desktop/ubuntu-10.04-netbook-i386.img /Users/0-rs/Desktop/ubuntu-10.04-netbook-i386.iso

diskutil

diskutil list

diskutil unmountDisk /dev/disk1

sudo dd if=/Users/0-rs/Desktop/ubuntu-10.04-netbook-i386.img.dmg of=/dev/rdisk1 bs=1m

diskutil eject /dev/disk1

sudo dd if=/Users/0-rs/Desktop/ubuntu-10.04-netbook-i386.img of=/dev/rdisk1 bs=1m

diskutil unmountDisk /dev/disk1

when I type: "diskutil list" I get:
/dev/disk0
#: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER
0: GUID_partition_scheme *232.9 Gi disk0
1: EFI 200.0 Mi disk0s1
2: Apple_HFS machd 232.6 Gi disk0s2
