Has anyone had their Cutting Edge hard disk driver start reading/
writing random data after installing System 7?

About a year ago, In installed System 7, and starting with the
next bootup, the directory started getting "ghost files",
files were getting currupted, archive CRCs would not check,
and finally, the hd would not mount.

When I formatted the hard disk with the Hard Disk Toolkit,
in the fall of '91, I never had a problem since, and I have tried to
reproduce the errors.

I am not SURE that the CE driver trashed my HD (Lawsuit protector),
but when I updated to HDT, I have never had a problem since.

HDT and SilverLining RULE.  I wish that Apple would get the idea
and bundle FWB's Hard Disk Toolkit, Personal Edition, or Silver-
Lining instead of the crud that comes with the drives now.

3 Cheers for La Cie and FWB!  With their software, I can finally
compute on my mac without fear of directory.

Has anybody had this problem, or am I a fluke?

adTHANKSvance,
