HI. Does anyone out there have any experience with having one of their hard disk partitions suddenly duplicate itself? Everytime I mount my 320Mb CDC external hard disk, I get two seemingly identical copies of one of the partitions. I've tried replacing System/Finder, changing SCSI ID's, and a bunch of other things. I'm using Silver Lining to manage the drive, and it doesn't see the extra copy of one of the partitions; otherwise, I'd simply delete it there. Just yesterday, I copied all the files off the partition to another partition and deleted the original partition. Now, I don't get the extra copy, but every time I mount it it says "blah blah Damaged. Do you want to initialize?" Ack! I hit Cancel and it goes ahead and mounts the 3 remaining partitions and seems to work fine, but sometimes it reminds me that it can't create a Desktop file on the ghost partition. Any ideas, short of nuking the whole drive and re-formatting? Scott sburke@jarthur.claremont.edu
