This can occur when booting from the flash card OR simply booting from the hard drive with the cf card inserted (with or without a system folder, formatted as HFS or DOS). Card is Viking brand, 128 mb, in an Antec PCMCIA adapter. The card works fine in other machines. I've cleared PRAM, cleaned up desktop, run disk first aid, etc. My solution was to give up on booting from the cf card (I now use it for backup/file transfer) and make sure to eject it before I shut down. -- __________________________________________________________ Sign-up for your own FREE Personalized E-mail at Mail.com http://www.mail.com/?sr=signup
