I'm posting this for a friend.

Netters,
 
I have strange problems with my A590.
I first noticed the problem when I tried to run a program, and my Amiga 
told me that the file wasn't in object mode.
When I examined the file with NewZap, I noticed that it consisted majorly 
of two signs (or letters), one was FF in hex,the other hexnotation I can't
remember right now, but it looked like a dotted square.
The filesize was not changed.

I replaced the file, and thought not much more of it, till a couple of days
later, when I noticed that the same thing had happened with another file,
and another, and ....
I also discovered several read/write errors on the harddisk.
Next time I booted up my machine a requester popped up telling me that
"Key 23046 is already defined"
The disk could not be validiated.
What could I do, but reformating the disk.

After reformating all was normal for a week or so, but now the same
problem starts to show again.

So far I have found object-files, .info-files and text (ASCII)-files
with this symptoms.

Have anyone experienced something liks this?
Any suggestions on the cause of it?
