Could it be that the mechanism |is incorrectly reporting such errors? | Likewise, my drive is an IDE so I wouldn't expect this to be the cause. -- Paul Richards at Cardiff university, UK. spedpr@uk.ac.cf.thor Internet: spedpr%thor.cf.ac.uk@nsfnet-relay.ac.uk UUCP: spedpr@cf-thor.UUCP or ...!uunet!mcsun!uknet!cf!thor!spedpr +++
