I just don't understand why she "died". If she could make copies of herself...Why the hell not make another copy on another disk????

If she copied herself, the copy would have a worse issue, not just rampancy. her matrix, over the past 8 years of service, have gotten increasingly intricate, and the more intricate the matrix, the more likely chance of rampancy. when you copy something, they dont always copy exactly, so there is corrupted data as well. when she absorbed all the info from Installation 04, she started having issues. when they got back to earth (Before H2) the data was extracted to give her more room, but she kept the important info.

in short, its like copying a corrupt file

when it comes to this stuff, i know alot... i think i know too much about halo...
