hmmm!...I used to run a 10 gig drive..(9.5 or so usable)...but the new drive is 20 gig...could that be a problem, even though only 7-8 gigs were used when I tried? I used to run defrag just fine with 5-6 gigs of a 10 gig drive in use. (I regularly clean off extra stuff, and make sure it is as small as possible before defrag)...I have programs which clear 'temp' files, and I put images and music files on CDs..etc.

*sigh*...I guess it is about time to upgrade to something more stable---AFTER the festival in June!...If the craft show goes well, we might be able to afford a new box!
