I've just installed MacOS 8.1 onto a Mac (performa 6200) today, it
installed after a little bit of grief with various odd error messages
("This component requires MacOS 8" - hmmm..). 

However now I can't write to one of the Hard drive partitions (the one
called system... however we won't go into that ;) It reports a "disk
error -36" 

Norton, Disk First Aid, CP Diskfix and Drive Setup can't find any
problems.

I'm loath to format and then re-install, but I think that may be the
only solution.

Any ideas?

thanks

Alex
