HI there Heather,

Maybe due to the fact that it got remounted during the boot? Although I
can't say it for sure, not could I explain the reason why it would, but
in the past (when I still had windows) my fat32 was skrewed due to
window$ ME, and it did strange things. Win ME is known for corrupting
(or should I say doing something unorthodox) it's own partition
sometimes. Also, I don't really think the fact of your boyfriend having
a 1.7gh/z would make much difference to let's say a 300mh/z computer, as
the data is processed fast enough by xmms, just the disk access is slow
(accessing and reading the files), especially from a win32 system
(imho).

Glad it's working though.

Greetings
Ralph
