[CUBE] Cube acting up bad

[Thubten Kunga]

This is just a wild guess but I wonder if your HD might be formatted in 
the NON extended HFS format and thus wasting tremendous amounts of 
space and perhaps even disturbing the OS 9.1. I'm not technical enough 
to know if this would really make a difference in terms of the strange 
error messages you're getting. And it would be a lot of work to rebuild 
your HD from scratch. But formatting into the most modern and space 
saving way might be helpful, if it isn't already that way. Get info on 
the HD and in the format field it should say "Mac OS Extended". 
Otherwise it's using huge blocks to store tiny files and wasting large 
amounts of disk space.

Anyone else on the list want to say if I may or may not be on the right 
track? Sticking my neck out for all of you who like to diss me from 
time to time. ; ^ )
