The disk you are using was initialized on a drive ( could be the same one ) that was/is aligned differently and thus things like 1435 blocks free occassionly appear. I copied stuff on to a disk on a bad drive and now I sometimes trouble loading anything. Other times I get junk or 1435 free blocks. So I would reconsider your sending mail to a company about the save @ replace bug until after you are fully sure about whats happen. rich
