Ever since my twenty meg built in HD (I have an SE) has reached fifteen megs,
strange things have been happening.
Strange thing #1: When running MSWD 3.01 off my HD (It costs a lot, but
it's worth it!), I've often gotten a "Cannot Open" file error when saving,
leaving my new file in limbo. This "Cannot Open" continues even if I return
to the Finder and come back!
Strange thing #2: When running SigmaEdit UNDER MSWD WHILE MSWD is
having its little fit, SigEdit gives me a Disk Error -42 when trying to
save a file. What is this???
Strange thing #3: I've also encountered, once since the MSWD problem
began, a "Your disk needs minor repairs" dialog upon bootup. Of course, my
SE did the repairs itself, but what is this? Yes, I have tried wiping my
MSWD off the HD and making a brand-new backup onto the HD. By habit, I try
not to run things off floppies anymore.
So, what's the consensus?

Try rebuilding your DeskTop (by holding the clover and option keys while rebooting). Maybe
there's some "crud" in it and it just need to be rebuilt. You could also try running
Apple's Disk First Aid (?) on it.

P.S. I have an SE HD20 with 19Meg on it, and I have never experienced any problems
with the hard disk. Of course, this is my THIRD hard disk. :-)
