Dear Netters:

Since I posted my message, I received lots of replies and suggestions. It's so
kind of you.

First of all, my problem was NOT the case that I have lots of tiny files
in my root dir. Here was my reply to Ken yesterday:

>>This was not my problem at all. My root directory contains only 
>>autoexec.bat , config.sys and two hidden files
>>i.e. io.com and msdos.com.
>>
>>Other files are NOT in the ROOT directories. 

Secondly, my hard disk is divided into 4 parts, each 30MB, so it's not caused
by the wrong partition.

Thirdly, according to my description, the dealer was finally convinced that
there is something wrong, because after using (xcopy) copy command, and do the
comp, it reports compare error at offset ..., and no EOF stuff, they said maybe
DMA is bad, I don't know what's DMA is.

Anyway, as long as they believe there is something wrong, it's fine. I am 
so frustrated because they have kept me bringing my machine back and forth
for more than 5 times in one week and keep saying the machine is fine. Sounds
like I have done something wrong.

Finally, since it's an odd phenomenon, if anybody is interested in the final
result to my harddisk drive, I will send him/her a report.

Thanks again for all your replies. 

Regards, Xiaojun.

P.S. I am sorry if I made a wrong choice to do the posting in this news group,
but I don't know what's going wrong in the very begining, I just want to make 
sure the problem is not caused by pkunzip. and I still post this here because 
lots of you have already replied my message and I can't reply all of you 
individually, many thanks.
