[comp.sys.amiga] Hard disk read/write errors

FVEST@DUCVAX.AUBURN.EDU (Floyd Vest) (10/07/89)

I have been receiving occasional read/write errors on my hard drive.
The errors seem to occur when I am using a program that is reading
and writing the same partition (e.g. ARP MOVE when the target file
already exist, or zoo extract).  The error has never occurred on a 
COPY though.  "Retry" fails and "Cancel" leaves the target file
corrupt.  I don't think it is a hard error on the drive, because I
can take the same command writing to or from RAM: and NO ERROR.

Highlights of configuration:

B2000 (rev 4.2)
AmigaDos 1.3.2 (thanks)
