I seem this occur with SP1 on seervers with Norton Anti-virus installed. If this is not your problem, I suggest creating a Memory Dump File--see KB 303021. Review the file at the point of failure, this should provide the answer.

I don't actually remember the commands or how to set it up but can tell you what could be done to rectify the situation & someone else may know how to do it; It sounds like your HARDDRIVE(S)are in a state of disarray and need simply to be organized per the DOS prompt; What happens is that the stuff is stored on the drive anywhere a portion will fit until it is all on the drive Somewhere. Ther is a set of DOS commands that group each 'Thing' together into an homoginized set and then stores them on the Harddrive all together from the spindle out; I have'nt a clue how it works it does and it does not automatically address udates and inclusions - Word files in some versions store inside the software and I guess it can look like a boa constricter that swallowed a cape Buffalo.
