Setup: IIci, 8 meg ram, Quantom 80 meg hd, Apple 21" display,
old 21" display card (fully populated), system 6.0.5, After Dark,
Disinfectant Init (Just loaded & ran Claris Filemaker PRO...

Anyway, the hard disk refused to boot... NO WAY! So re-formatted it.
Very Little on it... (No problem with virii as far as Disin 2.3 is
concerned) - Attempted to move a Filemaker Pro File into another
folder & the Icon Poped Back! with no Error Message!. The shortly there
after the motor in the hard disk sounded like it was slowing down,
then it speeded back up ????

What's Next??

Any Ideas why the Hard disk would sound as if it was slowing down then speed ba
ck up? Bad power supply? (We have a surge suppresser on the line)

Many thanks for any help/ideas,
