Hello all,
I've been struggling sometime now with my hdds. I have 2 WD 200gb drives, 1 Maxtor 40gb and 1 WD 250gb along with an external USB Maxtor 120gb drive.
The 120 and 40 drives work fine, however when I fill the 200s or 250 to a certain point, they 'corrupt.' Like when i hit the 100gb mark, i'll eventually get "data write failed" type errors, restart and then Windows will do a chkdsk, "fix" the corrupt files, recover them and then they will be even more corrupt than before and i'll be forced to delete them because they cannot be fixed.
Right now i'm stuck inbetween two options and i don't know which to go with if not both. I'm either going to upgrade to dual processors seemingly if mine cant handle them or im going to upgrade my power supply. we're talking about a $400 difference in choices so all opinions/suggestions are welcomed. Thanks.
Here are my comp specs so you know what i'm dealing with here:
CPU: 2.8ghz P4
RAM: 3xPC333 DDR (1.0 gb)
HDD: 2x200 WD; 1x250 WD; 1x120 Maxtor; 1x40 Maxtor
VID: ATI All-In-Wonder 9700 Pro
SOU: Creative SoundBlaster Live! 5.1
ATA Ultra100 Controller Card
I think that's all. As i said, all opinions/suggestions are welcome.
Thanks
