I did run scan dsk and fixdsk also. my drives were old they had problems. when I installed a new hd the problem went away.

I also have a mac mini and a mac book.
what I really want is a Mac Pro...I do music recording (home studio)which I use the PC for.The Mac Pro would be so much better. Only thing I would need new software as for what I use now doesn't work with apple

FWIW, you could try to run your recording software on your mac book (or your mini if it has Intel brains) before coughing up the cash to buy a Mac Pro...by installing a 15-day trial version of Parallels (download here) and installing whatever flavor of Windows you have handy. (As you probably already know, you can install/use WinXP for 30 days before you have to activate it, so you could use your existing WinXP install CD without having to buy another XP license.)

Granted, the mac book would run Parallels/WinXP/recording software nowhere near as fast as the Mac Pro would run it, but you'd have two weeks to play with your Windows software installed "inside" Parallels. That way you could see if you'd be served by purchasing a Mac Pro--or just stick with your current PC--for your home studio.

Just my $0.02.
