Digital BW, The Print

Steve,

Have you run a full disk scanning diagnostic including a surface test? A
single bad sector can give you that type of error. Try moving your scratch
disk to a different partition and see if that helps.

> Hi folks, very much hoping you can help me out - I'm stumped.
> I have a 1.8Ghz AMD Athlon running XP with PS6, have 1GB RAM, an 80GB

> I am working with some pretty huge panorama pictures (up to 350MB),
> but also the run of the mill 100MB RGB files.

> I am frequently getting a "disk error 36 (or disk error 1), problem

>
> I can't seem to fix it.  I have my scratch set properly, am running 6

> Problem doesn't seem linked to any particular operation, but does

> Any ideas.....please.....
