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.
