This is usually a hardware problem; either bad memory, a bad motherboard or a bad disk controller have caused it for me. You don't say whether you're running a busmastering disk controller, if not then I'd almost certainly say memory error. You may want to check your bus speed settings as well, though I haven't had one of these that could be tracked to that. > -- George Mitchel (george@mvp.com) -- ]] Mike Smith, Software Engineer msmith@atrad.adelaide.edu.au [[ ]] Genesis Software genesis@atrad.adelaide.edu.au [[ ]] High-speed data acquisition and [[ ]] realtime instrument control (ph/fax) +61-8-267-3039 [[ ]] My car has "demand start" - Terry Lambert [[
