I don't know which version he used, perhaps the problem is fixed now. I can't explain your situation - the only (IMHO) possible explanation would be that your fat is so much garbled that it always points to the old data - even if this would be true - strange ! solution: before you start to copy/zero, backup and try another Optimizer/Cleaner named Harddisk Sentry - very reliable - gets things back to work in most cases. * bjoern@drdhh.hanse.de - Bjoern Kriews, Hamburg, FRG * * make love...
