OK so it was needed to do another download of Yosemite within MAS on Snow Leopard-All the steps were repeated that have been learned over the last week-Reasonably straightforward but it made me think-
Yosemite download "just begins" - There was no option of "where to put it" eg-to another location like external USB drive.
Yesturday I tried to copy the download into another location but it wasn't possible - After it downloads again I'll see if I can move the file to the external HDD - If successful it'll be retained for any further mishaps.
Is it possible to just drag the file -[the attached HDD has plenyty of room for it]?
Here is a straight forward procedure once you download Yosemite at the Yosemite desktop/MAS.
Once the download completes it opens automatically.
On the dock right click on the Install.App and press Quit.
Open the Applications folder you will see the App there.
Right click on the App and select Compress.
It will take a few minutes.
Once it finishes drag/drop or copy/paste the zipped file to a location of safety.
If you put it on the HDD and you have to format it you will lose it....
