There are atleast three possibilitys, that BAT didnt get used for that
mail run for some reason. That bit of the BAT didnt actually achieve a
complete removal of the 0000FFFA.* files for some reason, or the reason
your system refused the TH1 wasnt because you had a TH1 on your system
in that directory, but some other reason like lack of free space, or say
some glitch in your drive subsystem which caused your Bink to get confused
when checking your system for the presence of a TH1 and so it refused the
the offered one.

Without a proper log on your system its not possible to say. But you
certainly aint entitled to proclaim that it cant have been your system.

Dunno, it took you some time to even realise that the actual problem
occurred on that date, not the date that you saw the unexpected TH2.
Its still not clear if your system really had not been touched for
12 months prior to the 19-May. In fact I thought you have said that
you had a loan of a 9GB drive or something in that period ? Thats
a separate issue to the date of the full installation of the new drive.
And you also said something about a power supply failure which might
conceivably have resulted in some reconfig too.

But you certainly cant just proclaim that your system was totally
untouched for 12 months, so the problem cant be at your end. And
when one possible reason for the refusal by your system of the
offered TH1 could be anything from a hard drive subsystem glitch
to something as simple as a lack of enough free space, its bogus.
