HELP!

My system now crashes whenever I try to copy a new program from a floppy to
the hard disk. The system just freezes in the middle of a copy operation,
and I have to hit the re-boot switch. The problem is temporarily solved by
archiving a few programs to floppy then rebuilding the desktop. I've heard
that there's some sort of limit to the number of files that can be stored on
a hard disk. I hope not, since I was planning to upgrade to a 620MB disk in
the near future.

Configuration:
	Mac II
	5MB RAM
	Jasmine Direct Drive 160 (150MB)
		135MB in use, about 3600 files on the hard disk
	8-bit apple color monitor
	System 6.0
	ImageWriter II

This problem occurs under both system 4.2 and system 4.3, straight off the
distribution floppy with no mods. Any ideas?
