Well I have already tried with <shift> booting and with a vierge system disk created by installer but it fails in the same manner.
Perhaps the HFS partition in the HD is improperly formated, but it has been formated
with adv.disk.utils (system 6.0) and with SS 6.0 I never had problems.
Another hints: the fail happens randomly, not all files are corrupted.

I want to do the following tests:

- try to read/write files on a HFS diskette, to check if it fails only with HD
- compare the corrupted file and the original one to see what is wrong
- if it fails also on a diskette check with a Macintosh the integrity of the files
  to see if it goes wrong copying to HFS disk or viceversa
