The problem lay, rather, in the very act of mounting the volume if the size of the volume was greater than 4 GB (I *think* that's the right number). That is, if you had had your disk divided into two partitions, I think you could have successfully mounted either without risking this damage. That said, I have to issue the disclaimer that I've never actually had a machine/OS combo where this was a potential problem, so my recollection is quite rusty -- limited to what I remember reading back when this was an actual issue. I'd bet the details are rattling about the archives on MacFixIt. - Eric. ---------- Duo/2400 List, The friendliest place on the Net! A listserv for users and fans of Mac subportables.
