The rest is just Useless Knowledge. This is just a stab in the dark but try running Norton to see if you can't get the innered checked ie. b-tree block alocation etc... Although I don't think this will help much it is still werth a try. and may get it into a state where the formating tools will have a better chance of sucess. Which formatting packages have you tryed? I wish you luck. Andrew.
