John, The errors in those posts are indeed the same as mine, but I don't think my problem is a disk too big for the bios, because I've had 8.2 running on it all year. I think their errors were 'can't see sector, disk shouldn't be that big', and mine is 'can't see sector, disk is corrupt'. I hope I'm wrong, so I'll try the diagnosis utility Tom mentions. Richard
