Thanks for the link, it pretty much confirms what I'd figured out 
earlier today, namely that my disk image is hopelessly corrupted. 
The disk I/O programming for VPC seems to really suck.  I've seen 
where if you try to download something using a application under VPC 
directly to a Mac folder mapped as a drive under VPC the data will be 
corrupted.  My latest problem occurred while I was trying to 
straighten up a bunch of data on the disk, and deleting what was no 
longer needed.  The end result is that it would appear VPC is 
worthless, and that I wasted a lot of money that I could have better 
spent elsewhere.
