Have reformatted it, filled it up with files, then it happens again. Have AVP Pro and Trojan Remover operating, so cannot see it being vius or trojan related. Any suggestions?	Guest (0)

Try using that partition for the swapfile, and see if it stays intact like that. That would save the time filling with 5GB repeatedly, while sorting it out. This is one of the nasties: the answer will be bleeding obvious -- in retrospect.	Guest (0)
