I'm experiencing some very strange problems.
When copying multiple files on my HD, or when unzipping multiple files from a ZIP/RAR archive, I'm getting multiple corrupt files. The strange is, when I repeat exactly the same command, I'm getting multiple, DIFFERENT corrupt files! But no matter how many times I try, I can never succesfully complete the copying or unzipping without file errors.
Since I thought this was caused by a HD failure (it's a Maxtor 80GB PATA IDE HD), I ran multiple scan disks but no error was ever found. I even changed my PATA IDE cable but same thing.
Yesterday I installed a second, recently formatted SATA hard disk drive (which works perfecly on my other pc), and I'm having exactly the same problems!!
I just don't know what to think about this. Any suggestions?
