Also: I didnt read every single reply to your email, but I didn't see anyone ask you yet. How may drives are in the machine (cdroms, p-ata, sata, everything) and how fast are they. Also what size of power supply do you have? I've seen strange issues with failing or strained power supplies as well. If you have a powerful processor and lots of drives, you could be experiencing these issues. You might want to try replacing the power supply with a spare one, and unplugging drives you aren't using to make sure it's not the power supply. -matt jim scott wrote: > I have a four month old SATA HD in my FC 4 system.
