I've had various errors and problems, though not exactly like those. I
bought a new HD especially for the Mac, so it's got a 40GB drive - quite a
bit, by the standards of my network!
So with all this unused space, I made backups of several other machines -
the 7GB of data from my main fileserver, a dozen or so CD-ROMs either as
ISOs or files, and 17GB of MP3s.
Now I find I can't copy them off again; it fails after a few min with an
I/O or file read error.
And some of those CD images are now the only copy.
But I've found that if I unload the GUI, the Mac will serve the files to a
PC much more reliably.
Log out, then at the log in screen, log in as a user called
>console
The screen goes black and presents you with a text-mode Unix command line,
but all the server stuff is still running in memory.
In this mode, I've copied 1.2GB+ of stuff off the Mac onto Windows in one
hit, no problems. As soon as it's done and the Mac goes idle, it often
reboots, but that's OK.
