Dear Arvind,

As you said you can read/write 1 byte successfully.

then in order to know where the problem lies carry out following exercise.

1. write your name "arvind" in the eeprom using page write.
2. then try to read all the 6 letters at one go.
3. now read the letters one by one. (i.e. start(), read1byte(), stop() repeated 6 times)

IF step 3 is success but step 2 is not then 9th bit (as suggested by Mr. Henry) can be the problem.

If both step 2 & 3 are failure then(try this even if 3 is success)

4. write your name "arvind" byte by byte using byte write (start(), write1byte() stop() repeated 6 times)
5. now read all 6 char at one go(as in step 2)
6. now read letters one by one (as in step 3)

if 3 & 6 works but 2 & 5 doesnot then it may be problem due to 9th bit (as suggested by Mr. Henry)

if 5 & 6 wotks but 2 & 3 doesnot then there is problem in write routines.

Please post the outcome

Regards,
Mahesh
