Sorry about the delayed response. My client didn't thread the messages correctly and I didn't notice your reply. I'll try replacing the SATA cables in both machines and see if that helps. If you need any testing done let me know and I'd be happy to help out any way I can. Both systems are still having troubles so anything that might lead to a solution would be a relief. :) Travis > You certainly provided the right information, thanks :) > > While I certainly would not rule out a driver bug, these errors are > normally indicative of some sort of hardware problem.
