We have a Mac SE with an Apple HD-20. Lately, I've been getting a disk error (-43) when I try to save files. This happens from a number of different programs and does not seem to follow any pattern. All of the data and programs are backed up and I even reformatted the hard-disk. The problem occurs with the newly formatted hard-disk as often as it did before the format. Any suggestions (if its really bad news wait until after Halloween!). Thanks, Todd Heatherton (heath@gpu.utcs)

>We have a Mac SE with an Apple HD-20. Lately, I've been getting a disk >error (-43) when I try to save files. Disk error -43 is a "file-not-found" error. My best guess is that you are opening a file with some software, deleting it from your disk (with a finder-like DA, perhaps?), and then trying to save the changes you've made to the file in memory. This is the only instance of an error -43 I have ever seen. If anyone else has seen it poking around, I'd like to know what circumstances bring it up as well. ================================================================================ DISCLAIMER: The opinions expressed herein are mine!
