Wow, didn't think drive problems were so extremely complicated!!!!Anyway, I'll try most of this as soon as my dad comes home (yes, the private PC is still quite far in the future...sigh...) and I hope it helps. I've noticed that since yesterday or so, it isn't happening all the time, just in the beginning of a computer session really. But I don't think it'll last.Thanks again, I'll get back to you as soon as possible.cya!Matti

Oh yes, I forgot to say this in time to edit the last message, the strange thing is that is only just started sort of 2 weeks ago...before we had the 978MB partition without any problems apart from the occasional "disk full" message. We did reinstall Norton Anti-virus twice, not too long ago, that might have something to do with it (but I doubt it, worked fine before). This problem just sprang up out of the blue. FS2002 worked fine (yes, stone age=me).Just something my dad reminded me of.cya!Matti

bump! :-)
