real salvation is no further than a new system, which will run a couple hundred bucks.  nothing helps you troubleshoot more than having built that computer yourself.
		
		
	 
ugh, I just reformatted like last week.  I'm not going to do it again. 
This is basically a new system, it has a new mobo, new ram, new cpu.  I didn't reuse any of my old cards except for a promise controller and my old vid card.  
I can point the blame for my current situation on the promise controller.  It just doesn't work right, but I've never seen a 100% problem free add in ATA controller.  All the ones I've seen don't work with something.  And I need all my drives.
