Ditto.

Most probably either it is not writing correctly OR writing to WRONG locations :mrgreen:

Thanx Doomer & BlackST, reading modules after saving them, show that not modules are fine, so i believe i must find the way to save them in correct position acting on modules table or something like that..

You should already have module table , unless it is corrupted (all copies ?!?) .

I agree about modules, but service tracks do not need a position, so i wrote all tracks in all copies, and drive still show Overlay file read bad.
must be something different.
