- Well, it sounds like it is Disk-Validation problem. The rootblock on this disk
- cannot account for all of the files on the HD. The same thing happens to
- moi after I am running `Another World' (beautiful game) of the HardDrive
- occasionally. I just let the harddrive go for itself and wizz away for
- 10-15seconds, andonce the `HARD DISK' led has gone out, THEN press retry.
