(Hello world...)

	I wonder if some knowledgeable person out there could help
me with a hard disk problem.  I have a 1040ST (11/20/85 ROM version)
and a Supra Drive 20Meg hard disk which came with a version 1.1
'supboot.prg' boot up program.  My disk partitions are 
C: (7Meg), D: (4Megs), and E: (the rest).
	It seems that some internal directory table is being wiped out every
and then, causing the system to report back to me that the entire
harddisk has been erased.  When the poor computer is reset, all is
ok.  A guaranteed method of reproducing this consistently is to
click the 'show info' option in the GEM menu for, let's say, the
E: drive.  This will return the correct disk usage; but when it
is invoked immediately on D:, it will report 0 bytes used on D:.
	Thanks in advance.
