I'm having a strange problem here with my firewire drive.
Every file i copy to it shows up as 3.5MB (!!) in size. As a result, my 120 gig drive is 
getting full, and i've only loaded in a handful of sessions, as well as some cdroms.
When i check the individual files via the 'get info' dialog box, they all default to 
3.5MB, BUT, the (in parenthesis-k-) number appears to be correct.

I'm running os 9.2.2 and os x.2.8 - on a 667 Tibook, and the behaviour is the same 
on both systems. And - come to think of it - it's the same when the drive is plugged 
into my QS-933 with 9.2.2

Also, when i copy a file (be it readme or audio) to the FW, it says it's 3.5MB, but when 
copied back to the internal HD, it 'shrinks' back to normal.

I've rebuilt the desktop on the internal drive, as well as the firewire drive. Repaired 
permissions on the internal, run disk first aid, and speed disk on the firewire, but no 
luck.

As an example, i have a akai pno cdrom, converted to exs, and the folder is almost 9 
gigs!

Any ideas??

Thanks
