Have you reFormated your drive ?? this could fix a week sector, do you
get ICD error massages ??, also there should be no need to use FolderFix
with the ICD Booter as this has it built in ..also it would be a lot
better to get your TOS upgraded to 1.4, as this problem with the folder
fix has allmost been eliminated, can't crash your system now, you get a
warning message, Note Folder999 will chew up a bit of Ram !!
