Some days ago, my hard disk got completely corrupted: I first noticed
that some files were mixed on the disk and looking at the FATS and the root
directory, I saw that a prt of file was written in the root directory and
some clusters were allocated to more than one file. It's actually the third
time it happens but I never exactly identified the problem before. I have
then two questions:

1/ Does somebody else already had such a problem?
2/ could the Universal Item Selector be responsible for this?

The Universal Item Selector is indeed the only program that were in
use every time this problem occured, and the first time, it occured
immediately after I tried to copy a file with the Item Selector.
