After having 2 HD and 4 DD disks fail, I went out and bought a head cleaning disk at my local EggHead computer store. I now clean my drive every few months and haven't had a single DD failure since. (your milage may vary ;-) I'm still using only Sony disks (just my personal prejudice ;-) I have not had the occation to use HD disks since the problem went away. -- ------------ ------------ ---------------------- Ben Liberman USENET magik@chinet.chi.il.us GEnie,Delphi MAGIK
