Hi all!
I'm experiencing some weird problems with my machine. I've got two IDE drives on separate cables. It worked flawlesly for about 3 years, now there are CRC errors after copy operation between partitions belonging to one disc, or between both drives. I mean, copied files differs from original - i use md5 sums to check it.
I changed ide cables, checked bios settings, checked drives and cpu temp, checked surface of both drives using mhdd, checked smart attributes (there are 3 ultra ata crc errors shown on one drive, but none for other, rest ok), thoroughly tested ram with memtest+ (12 hours) , tested cpu with prime95 (12 hours). nothing found.
drives work good on other machine.
no viruses, last chipset/ata drivers.

what else should i check to solve this issue?

any help will be appreciated, thanks in advance

hardware: nforce 4 gigabyte mobo, ibm/hitachi and caviar drives, athlon64 4000+, not overclocked. do not remember exact models, can check if required.
software: xp sp3, lastest drivers, no viruses.

greetings from norway!
