I'm beginning to think I've got a bad hard drive.

I've repeatedly gotten the can't find pump errors. Finally got everything running, only to have a connection timeout during sync. Now, when I start emplode, it crashes every time during the filesystem check. (running the 2.0 version under XP). When running jemplode, it tells me there was an exception during fsck, and then a window pops up saying:

[EmpegFILEID: 2]did not exist.
[EmpegFILEID: 2]did not exist.

(yes, it says it twice)
Sound like a bad drive?

Thanks for all the help, everyone.
