cube acting up bad

[Lacorona at aol.com]

I'm sorry K, I think I called you by the wrong name earlier. 

I did check the info about HD and is DOES say mac OS Extended: capacity 
19.07GB. Avail 16.15GB. Used 2.92 GB on disk for 15, 793 items.

Okay, the dang thing is still bombing, I just don't know where to look next. 
How come there isn't a piece of test software for ABSOLUTE SIMPLETONS liek me 
that can help me figure out what is wrong here. I am lookling at extensions 
next, but I don't think it is there casue I haven't added anything. 

keep your suggestions coming, I am trying everything you say

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. ; ^ )
