I have cloned my warp installation from a 2GB IBM IDE drive to a 6.3GB
drive. Recently I have had an intermittant problem (the worst kind!) 
Every once in a while when I log onto my E (data) partition I get a 
sudden high pitched noise from the computer box itself. The CPU meter 
goes up to about 50% (an AMD K6 233) everything predictably runs very 
slowly, and I am unable to display the drive contents with any GUI 
based viewer (Object Navigator, Warpcentre) A commandline dir command 
will display the partition contents normally. The only way to return 
things to normal is to reboot. Anyone know what is happening? Perhaps 
coincidentally I have begun getting a trap d from running fdisk too.


Regards

Michael Block
