More news as it happens: This evening, I had to reformat the partition. One of the freemap pointers was also pointing to bad bad data. Fortunately, nothing major was lost. Could the bad freespace pointer (the pointer in the root directory pointing to the freemaps, that is) have caused the other bad sector pointers? What an annoyance. Mr Blish (if you're reading this)… what all is involved in getting new software for my old C.Ltd. ? Do I require the PAL change? Or is the grounding wire sufficient? (That's what I've got in place right now). Is this even helpful? /Mike
