I've had a 180gb 180gx IBM drive for about 2 months now and have had endless problems with it.
Firstly I encountered problems trying to get windows 2000 pro to recognise it over 128gb. I have an Abit KT7a motherboard with the latest bios flash. The board and bios recognised the drive at the correct size no problems, however when i tried to install win2k it only recognised it as as 128gb, I got round this by using partion magic 8.
Over the last 2 months I have had to reinstall windows three times due to the C: drive becoming corrupted while running windows. When the error message comes up my computer totally screws up and I lose all the data off my c drive. I have the drive partioned as 2X20gb 2X40gb and 1X60gb
Anyone help me out why does it keep becoming corrupt ?
