Hello Steven, I had an exact same occurance that as long
as I went back to a particular previous version the drive
had -no- known troubles . But the minute I tried one of
Gerards newer releases It would hang in this manner .
The Drive gave out about 2 months into the discussions
with Gerard . Backup everything & test the -hell- out
of the disk & see if any errors crop up , bonnie is a
real good disk exerciser . Hth
