You are probably checking your HFS drive on a Mac.  Actually, this
has happened to me before on the IIGS.  While saving a file to an
HFS Zip disk, there was a power interruption and the computer
restarted.  After that, I saw a small file in place of the one that I saved
with the same file name.  I could tell it was not the complete file because
the size was too small.  I could not access or delete the file and when
I tried to do so, I got a message similar to the one above.  However,
HFS is pretty robust.  I was able to copy everything else off the HFS
Zip without problem, reformat the Zip, and put the files back on.

With all the talk of HFS being so nasty, it has yet to be really nasty
on my disks!  ;-)
