SCAVENGEDSKDIRECTORY falls over with the same error. SystemTools gives an immediate 0915 when LispFiles is selected from the Volume Menu & Scavenge from the Installation Utility eventually gives an 0935. Now the question - do other people have similar difficulties creating (& or copying) SYSOUTs? In our case similar HARD DISK ERRORs have always afflicted our machines invariably only when making SYSOUTs or copying them between machines. Cheers, Andrew
