Hi there,
Yes it should be fine.
There is a rare condition related to the value "null" on NTFS systems. It is
related to the EOF marker and keeping it simple....if the "null" value is
read rather than some other value, NTFS will assume that it has reached the
EOF. I would say that it is possible but very unlikely.
I am not saying that the following are the cause of your trouble, but, Do
you have a multiple boot system and if so what software are you using to
manage the multiple boot, and although they should not be visible to XP, do
you have any drives or partitions that are formatted for any other OS,
Win16, Win32, Linux, OS2 ?? Did you upgrade to XP from any of the other
Operating systems? Have you run the Windows Update lately and installed all
updates available to you? Are you certain that you have sufficient disk
space to do the save...you should have at least twice the amount
available...so if you want to create a 4GB file you should have at least 8GB
free...that will accommodate any temporary files...some believe the amount
free should be even greater.
Basically what I am looking for is something that may have messed up your XP
environment.
I am about to hit the sack right now...so can't spend more time with you at
the moment...but, by the time I am next available, I bet someone else will
have answered/solved your problem
