Yeah, but the theory is that those files are what's causing the problem in the first place and that they need to be deleted before the original poster puts the disk in the Plus. I don't believe that has anything to do with it, but if you're gonna take Philip's advice, you have to make the files visible so you can delete them *first*. -- the pickle FAQ <http://macfaq.org/index.shtml> Software Archive <ftp://download:[EMAIL PROTECTED]//Users/thepickl/Sites/Archive/> <http://www.members.jmug.org/%7Ethepickl/archive/> _________________________________________________________________ -- Compact Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/>.
