This statement is completely vague. What type of celfiles? Using head() 
on what? When asking questions you need to be much more descriptive.

So if I put on my Carnack the Magnificent hat, I can divine several 
things. First, you used head() on the AffyBatch object you got from 
running ReadAffy() on your celfiles. In addition, you wanted to see the 
'head' of the values that were read in.

As you have found, you can't do this. If you just want to see numbers, 
you can use

head(exprs(celfiles))

if you want PM values

head(pm(celfiles))

I can further divine that you are using a random-primer based array (as 
compared to the 3'-biased arrays). In which case you should note that 
none of the random-primer based arrays have MM probes. If you had done

pm(celfiles,'10700055')[1:3,]

you would see some data.

Best,

Jim
