Hi. I tried to use MyBook to reinstall an older version of my files. What happened is that desktop went completely blank. I can find the desired folders/files under the label of "desktop" when I use the Finder. I can't seem to copy or move them back to the desktop. I checked everything I could under Finder, View. I never saw anything about a grid. Thank you in advance.
