Strange HDD problem
format ntfs. I filled this with AVIs and removed it in it's removable drawer. I installed another Maxtor 250 which I formatted in Basis ntsf. I then replaced old drive D with empty 250G attached to IDE cha. 1. I then replaced system drive C: with a clone of XP Pro(system backup). Now my first Maxtor 250 G formatted in Dynamic in it's removable drawer will cause a system hang at boot. Many other drives in their drawers still work fine just this one will cause problems. Also: My Maxtor installation gives me an indication of very slow read when tested. Fist installed Maxtor Read-57522 Write-59187 while the new Maxtor install reports Read-28379 Write 68812. Can anyone explain the difference and reliability of the Pinnacle Studio 8 calculator. Thanks for any help or comments on these two issues. J.
