[QUOTE="inertkinesis, post: 378406, member: 29927"] My first question is this: I have a folder in my Macintosh HD (on the same level as Applications and System) titled "97300". What is this? I deleted it and it came back after a while. Could it have anything to do with the message about smart crash notifications (or something like that) that I sometimes get when I boot? Also, something a bit more serious: I wanted to copy a DVD to my hard drive, so I tried to do so by copying the TS_VIDEO folder from the disc to my movies folder. However, after a short while it froze and I can't stop the copy. The only thing I can think to do is shut down and restart, which is what I'm about to do. So my question is why does this happen and what can I do to avoid this? Also, are there any faster utilities for copying discs to the HDD than this basic way? EDIT: I'm pretty sure the answer to my second question is that its a dirty/damaged disc. I tried again and it does the same thing in the same spot. I press Stop Copy and it eventually stops. Eventually. Thanks, Mike [/QUOTE]
