The hdd has been running for around a year, with not a single problem, no loss of data, no errors, so I decided to put it on the old mobo, wham! same errors. So it could be youre chipset for some reason?? just another view Mark -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
