Problems with software



I am experiencing problems with some of my software.

	Fistly, I can not get the Advanced Disk Utilities (the one that comes with
system 6.0) to re-partition my hard drive.  I have tried everything from
using a clean system 5.0.4, to using system 6.0.1, to turning of all inits
and DA's booting of 3.5 inch drive, booting off ram drive etc.  I do not
know the problem, and help would be much appreciated.

	Next, the other night, when using AWGS I went to save a file
(wordprocessor), and big pink letters started to appear on the screen.  The
hard drive was continually active, and the save never finished. 
eventually, I re-booted the machine.  Alas, my files was gone.  What is
wrong?

	I eventually got my hard drive re-partitioned (using a friends RamFast
built in utilities) and put all my saftware and data back on.  I then
de-fragmented my hard drive.  But, when I copied folders and  software from
a drive to the desk top, multiple copies were there (with same name, and
same stuff in the folders).  When I deleted one, it deleted other
information in other folders.  This worried me a little.  Can anyone help?
				The other mysterious thing with this is that the software in the
folders still worked...


	My system is a GS Rom 01, 4.25Meg ram, Apple High Speed SCSI, Zip
10MHz/8k, Apple In Modem 300bps, 170Meg Hard Drive, 3.5' drive running
system 6.0.1 (if it helps at all).


				Thanks
