My 2000 crashed this morning while running Imagine. After rebooting, I got the following message concerning one of the 2 hard drives: "Error validating disk. Ke 79098 already set." I can read from the disk, but can't write to it. Any suggestions on what I should do?

Brian, When this happens to me, I make a backup and then reformat the partition. You may be able to use something like Quarterback Tools to help out, but if you can still read the disk, making a backup before tinkering is always good policy. David

Thanks, David. That's what I'll do. Rather than mess around with the drive I'll just reformat. I'd probably have to eventually anyway. -Brian
