Gayle, thanks for the reply re my BB problems. I think its time for me to start over and not assume anything, although I am positive I have the GVP memory configured as EXTENDED. I could be wrong and anyway I will try both ways just in case I'm reading the manual wrong! My GVP is a "A2000-COMBO33/4MB" although as I noted in the original message it is now 8meg (and I need more.) The problem occurs with the Harddisk connected via the GVP, because they said it would be better! and then I get the write errors although no error messages occur, its only when I try to read back the file (say Startup-sequence) that the garbage ceated can be seen. It is as you can imagine a real problem. Some small files did/do wrtie ok, larger files get corrupted 99% of the time, and I have noticed that the last few hunder or so bytes are ok? It is a weird problem. I just find it difficult to find the time to experiment, a 5minute testends up taking a couple of hours with the potential to corrupt the whole disk (probably not, but I can't be sure.) I will just have to bite the bullet and redo all the testing. Regards Leonard
