HI Guys, unfortunately been in Rome on business since my last post but here's an update on what I have done to rectify things. Please bear in mind I may not have needed to do this but needs must.
1 - Stripped the player to check the 2 80gig drives I installed where ok etc
2 - Rebuilt the drives with the hard disk builder
3 - Defragged and scanned my music library for errors (4 - bad segments were found and rectified)
4 - Checked every single one of the 22121 tracks with Ashampoo on my music hard drive (few errors found)
5 - Rechecked them with a small utility called wimpck-english-0.03 (for piece of mind)
6 - Installed Emplode ver 2.00 only
7 - Synched the above 22121 tracks
8 - Guss what! - no errors whatsoever (yes I do realise that it was a Hijack generated error)

With great respect to Mark, should I install the latest Hijack now or wait until I get my ordered memory from Pcats, what do you think?
