PlatformUUID Question

[leslieking]

I have a "Hardware UUID" section in System Profiler. This section appears due to platformUUID.kext. Is this good? Do you have the same section?

Yes and it is good to have otherwise you get the error 35 unable to determine host or something to that effect, when you have this error Time Machine will not work.

Should be a space to put it in there my file below shows where and yes you get it from diskutil by highlighting the partition your install is on using the Info button then put the numbers/letters you will see in the spot.
