- Here we go again with horror stories about write-protected disks. The write
- protection is a _fail-safe Feature_ of Stacker, _not_ an error. When Stacker
- determines that an error has occured, it write protects your hard disk so that
- the integrity of the data remains stable while you run the utilities to fix the
- problem. Then, after re-booting the machine, all is well again. Read the manual
- people ;)
