back when I was using 5.0.3 I noticed some bad files (gif files usually) and occasional block overwriting -- I went back to 5.0.2, kept my HD partitions locked as often as possible, etc. When 5.0.4 came out, I maintained the locked partitions policy (unlocking only to do maintenance in finder or Orca). Recently, the $51 errors have been popping up again -- in my GIF directories again. (I had some sound files die also but there was maybe one or two.) Why the hell is error $51 so bad-ass nasty that the ProDOS FST won't let you do jack (i.e. FILETYPE with a wildcard in Orca or even rename a specific file in the finder) ?? On a related note, are there any cheap/free Prodos disk recoverers that can handle hard drive size (i.e. 32 Meg) volumes? Todd Whitesel toddpw @ tybalt.caltech.edu

In case you didn't know, error $51 is Directory Structure Damaged. That would most likely be why you have such a "bad-ass nasty" problem. | ProLine.: llee@gnh-starport | | | UUCP....: crash!gnh-starport!llee | Yo Vanilla kick it one time, | | InterNet: llee@gnh-starport.cts.com | boooooyyyyyyyyy.... | | AO .....: Please hold... | |
