bad sata cable? properly connected it to the HD? Try running memtest (doesn't require an OS).

I have test with an other cable --> sa
I have use an other hard disk (sata) --> same problèm
I have test with an ide drive and that run correctly.

The problem come from SATA.

maxtor sata drives and n-force 4 sata does not work together, there is a compatibility issue and i don't think there is a fix for it yet. you can search on google for the documentation of the problem.

 

[imported_Oliver]

Ok
I think it's that.
I have change my sata drive with a ide drive and it's better.

thanks for your Help..

Bye Later.
