Wally,

About 1 1/2 years ago, Dr. Phil (Indy KJ) had a terrible problem with an enclosure that housed a MAXTOR IDE Drive.

His HD enclosure went bad and, in his case, corrupted several KMAs.

I would suspect the HD enclosure and go ahead and take the HD out of the enclosure and connect the HD directly to the Computer in Slave Mode on IDE1 or Primary on IDE2.

Once you solve the Trk Count problem, I would make a Backup of the SONGS.MDB, DELETE the Original SONGS.MDB, and run the BUILD SONGS DATABASE.

I believe that any "Duplicate" BookIDs that may be found, during the Rebuild, would be, actually, corrupted KMAs as I had 3 "Duplicate" KMAs upon performing a Rebuild and when I looked at the KMAs, in question, with a TEXT EDITOR, the Headers where completely MISSING.

I re-imported the 3 and all was well.

This is not the first time Hoster claimed that I had "Duplicate" BookIDs after a REBUILD. On previous REBUILDS, where "Duplicate" BookIDs were found, I viewed the KMAs in a TEXT EDITOR to see the BookID HEADER info. I saw the BookIDs and they were NOT Duplicates.

The last instance of viewing "Duplicate" BookIDs revealed that the HEADERS were COMPLETELY MISSING.

So, I believe that any "Duplicate BookIDs Found" are, really, corrupted KMAs.

The Silver Lining is that Hoster has provided a way to determine, conclusively, what, if any, KMAs were corrupted because you will end up with a LIST detailing what KMAs Hoster cannot process.
