I think i am going nutts here. i have a older 30 gig wd300aa 5400 rpm drive. it seems like it keeps loseing data my icq data base disapears also now my internet explorer has problems running java scripts and also cgi scripts on my self hosted web page. i know they work because i have had them up and running for 2 weeks with no problems.(netscape works fine still but hate it) have xp pro installed. have had few other techs tell me older wd drives have problem with ntfs can anyone shed little light on this.
