Thanks for the response. Sorry, I didn't mean to imply that error message indicated the bad sectors. It is the application error I receive right before I start getting drive errors. I know I have bad sectors because of the chkdsk and ntfsfix reports that I run after getting a launcher application error, both of which identify tequila files as having the bad blocks. Maybe I should have mentioned I'm an IT professional?
My main question is, has anyone else encountered drive problems as a result of using tequila, and if so, is there any similarity to the .pigg corruption error I posted? It would look like Homecoming unable to launch even after reloading the launcher followed by inability to read certain files, such as the tequila log.
If no one else is having that problem, then I'll assume it isn't tequila and troubleshoot my HW in the traditional way. Thanks again!
