Hi Alan, I am experiencing similar problems as Michiel and maybe can throw out a few more details about my situation and shed a little more light as to what is happening. I recently added a 2nd drive to my PAR setup and things started getting weird. When I first installed the 2nd drive, a Micropolis 2217A, somehow the data on my other drive became unreadable. After trying some of DPS's suggestions for restoring the data, I ended up formatting both drives and starting from scratch. Since then things have not been right and have gradually gotten worse. At first whenever I would do any of the commands that would manipulate the PAR data, i.e. join, duplicate, or even optimize, the process would destroy a few frames in the animation. Not like when your disk is really full and needs to be optimized (My drives were pratically empty), but I could step frame by frame through the animation and some frames that were fine before the data manipulation were now corrupt. Since then the problem has escalated. I get more bad frames and now have had the computer lock when doing various operations in the PAR interface, including deleting, stopping an animation, etc. Maybe this sheds some new light.
