I have a machine that did that for a year. I finally took the time to do two full backups and did a low level format to clear up the error. Just repartitioning the drive should fix it, but I wanted an intensive test done since I had to reload the disk anyway. Tim. -- Tim Lange. Purdue U. Computing Center/MATH Bldg./W.
