About a week ago, while working in TML Pascal II's desktop, I was returning to
the desktop from a program when I got a system error telling me, "System5.0.2
may have been damaged, please backup data." The problem here is that the file
I was working on got trashed, but my boots disk, where the seeming problem was,
was only full of applications. I went to the finder, and in an attemp to find
the bad file, I tried to verify every file on the disk, but when I tried to
get the finder to list the bad files, it locked.

Oh well, I thought, and I proceeded to re-initialize my primary boot volume.
This went fine, and I copied most of my applications back. Unfortunatly, since
I've done this, I've received the same system error again, but this time all 
the files on the disk checked out, according to the Finder.

The major problem is that my Finder, and a few other programs are acting rather
strange. Many programs that I used without cliches before have developed bugs,
and the finder refuses to copy or more a file. Besides this, everything is
working fine.

Does anyone have any idea of what's going on with my system? I've verified the
hard disk with Copy II+, and it says there's nothing wrong there, so I'm stump-
ed. Any ideas would be appreciated.

My system is set up as follows:
   1.5 Meg memory on a GS Ram card  
   1.0 ROM motherboard
   Audio Animator in Slot #1 (Turned off at the time)
   Transwarp GS Card in Slot #4
   Vulcan Hard Drive Controller in Slot #6
   Vulcan 40 meg hard drive with three partitions (1 5.0.2, 1 5.0 and 1 4.0)
   Text reader NDA, no inits, Vulcan CDA.

P.S. My 4.0 partition can still copy files on the 5.0.2 partition without
prblems assuming the file does not have any resource fork.
