Thanks Paul,

I did also get some _very_ large positives when trying to use the Newt
after the Bad Thing but only 0 and 8 when trying to re-mount it. The plan
is get everything off the card ASAP and move over to ATA (thanks for the
prompt reply to my registration (from my home addr :-) ) )

Cheers.

Andy.
