Lines: 10 When I came back in the room to check on the status of my download, imagine my surprise when I was greeted with a task held message. The GURU was 8700000B.00000001. After rebooting and trying to save a file, I got the message 'Error validating disk. Key 33330 already set.' This is my hard disk. What happened? What can I do short of reformatting and reloading? How can I prevent this from happening again? thanks, Hal
