[G4] Trash error question

[Brian Conner]

David,

-36 errors are I/O (Bummers) errors. Usually, these involve a bad drive or
cable. But in your situation that doesn't seem to make sense.

Try creating a new user and see if that user has the same problem. Might
give you a clue, might not.

Subject: [G4] Trash error question


Hello everyone,

Whenever I try to empty my OS 10.2.6 trash, I get the following error
message:

"The operation cannot be completed because some data cannot be read or
written (Error code -36)."

I can choose to "continue" or "stop".

If I choose to "continue" the same dialogue box will pop up 3x's in a row.
The trash will actually empty after the first dialogue box.

This problem occurred after I used CCC to clone my OS 10.2.4 to a separate
internal HD. The cloning process was somewhat problematic. CCC froze during
cloning on 3 occasions, at 3 different points, but then worked fine when I
tried it again.

Updating to OS 10.2.6 didn't help. Diskwarrior, Norton, Disk First Aid,
fsck, and Repairing Permissions has not helped.

Any ideas anyone?

Thanks,

David Crandon
