Delete the ata3.prefs (or whatever its called i use 4xEIDE which is probably
the same software as my interface is the predeccesor of the PFlyer) from
env: and envarc: then boot with no startup lauch ata3prefs and set to
nosplit
and save

Dont use the scsidirect version as the pflyer software patches scsi.device
too
so it can split your hd into logical drives of 4GB each. thats probably

your problem is concerning bad mp3's, jfif's etc...
Hope this helps
