Hard Drives Crashing
Over the past few months, I think my hard drives are possessed by a demon. I have the following on Windows XP Pro with Intel 2.4GHZ 800MHZ FSB, 512MB DDR RAM:
2 WD 180GB Caviar Special Edition 8meg buffer 7200RPM
1 WD 200GB Caviar Special Edition 8meg buffer 7200RPM
1 WD 80GB Caviar Special Edition 8meg buffer 7200RPM
1 WD 120GB Caviar 2meg buffer 7200 RPM
1 Maxtor 160 External Hard drive
Lately, I have been having problems with my 200GB and both 180GB drives. They have crashed on numerous occasions, and I would lose all my data. I would get "delayed write errors" or "error accesing system volume information......." and once in awhile, when I reboot, Windows does not recognize that I have a drive in there, or that it claim it is unformatted. I have been able to recover the data once in awhile, but it is really frustrating. However,the other drives seem to run pretty solid.
Any and all help would be appreciated.
