Chris,

With regards to this error message, the cluster factor is irrelevant. The error message cited is caused by a hardware error when processing.

Not intended to raise concern, but what is your backup situation BEYOND the cartridge causing the problem? If you want to discuss privately, please feel free to contact me via email off-list.
