Sergey,
First, I expect that the output traj will have box info, unless you
explicitely write nobox there.
More importantly, what top file are you using to visualize ?
You should not be using the original one with all the waters, since your
new trajectory only has ten of them.
So, create a new top file with just ten waters, out of a pdb file, and
look again.
When things like this happen, it is always useful to LOOK into the mdcrd
file to see what numbers are in there.
Cheers
a.
