Hello All
I have a problem which has been driving me crazy About two months
ago I
replaced my 4xCD with a 24xCyberdrive CD and all seemed well, two weeks
later I upgraded my K5 fo an IBM686MX P200. Shortly after, the system kept
crashing and scandisk started to pick up bad clusters. My supplier
changed the hard drive(seagate UDMA) for a Quantum Fireball, but soon
afterwards the same thing started again. He then changed the processor(To a
K6200) and as there was
no improvment he changed the ram(32sdram) but things are getting worse.
I have an error message on bootup which ends "status capable and BAD
backup and replace. Press f1 to continue" from there it continues to
boot
as normal. The cyberdrive vibrates on some disks and I am unable to use
them,
as the system hangs when I try, occasionaly I get blue screen error
messages "Unable to write to drive C" Could the vibration from the CD be
causing physical damage to the hard drive?, could I be unlucky enough to
get two bad hard drives?,any ideas----
Please?
All of the above has taken place over a two month period the last thing
I've done is to send the cyberdrive for replacment (a different supplier)
and I've yet to recieve it.
( TX Pro m/b, S3 vid card, azdec s/c)
Thanks
