If the problem is crosslinked files then the thing to do is to delete the two files in question and then run your disk utilities again. The drive isn't damaged, it's just that there is some corruption in the data that links a file together. If the file in question is important you may be out of luck. At least one and possibly both files are munged. -- Clark Martin Redwood City, CA, USA Macintosh / Internet Consulting [EMAIL PROTECTED] "I'm a designated driver on the Information Super Highway" -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
