For what its worth, I'm using the first partition, not the fourth, and I'm not doing "dd/cp" I'm doing "tar czvf". I'm also using EPP 16 bit (how do I change this? I presume its a module option) And it happens every time. I've only just got the zip, so it's just possible I'm doing something "gifted".
