To Don Curtis, Andrew Porter and everyone who offered suggestions on my BB/HD problem: >However, when I install the Janus software on the hard disk, none >of this is true!

I finally held my breath, backed up the HD yet again, formatted the HD and restored it. Sure enough, there's now about 17% available, and the BB works *fine* with the HD!!?!?!? Evidently some previously deleted files had badly fragmented the HD, and any calls to Janus hit this "black hole"… Of course, I wish I coulda noticed this two years ago, but anyhow, it works now…has anyone else encountered this sort of problem? (with missing chunks on the HD?) — Damon
