Having decided that this posting,should be read by others , previously not connected with my problem, I start afresh on F1's opening page.
Have to report that after your advice on the Icon losses and crashes,as having to be originating about the CD drive area , either itself or the connections, there-in-- (I had pushed every conceivable plug - felt no movement but had a week of free of troubles), ---then away it started again.
More frustration, until one of my young tutors dropped by, put in a replacement IDE cable---time 7 minutes!!!!
Result: absolutely no crashes or loss of Icon.
Marvellous-
Software failure or manipulation is not the sole answer apparently- even good old mechanical connections have their headaches

So Thanks one and all

Good that you posted the cure, as others may get pointed in the right direction.
