I've had similar problems from time to time, although df0: was the drive that failed. Cleaning the disk drive (with a cleaning disk) has solved the problem for me every time so far. It's worth a try. --Fabbian Dufoe 350 Ling-A-Mor Terrace South St. Petersburg, Florida 33705 813-823-2350 UUCP: ...uunet!pdn!jc3b21!fgd3
