Hi Jun Qian - thanks for the feedback. With the WD800JB drive your
system would be similar to mine with the 8M buffer. Do you go through
the shutdown procedure where the computer turns off throught software on
shutdown? This is where my corruption takes place.

Since posting this originally, I have run into a number of forums where
users report the same NTFS corruption problem. Till I got the new
computer, I had not had failurs with NTFS. However, running CHKDSK on my
Win2k and XP installs of earlier computers also revealed errors even
though I had no boot failures or loss of data (at least non that I am
aware of). The reported errors, however, are not very conforting.

Since I've been using NTFS over 2years without any problems, and also
built many many PCs with NTFS formatted, and never see this problem
myself.

so My Test on this issue today:

PC spec: 4x ASUS nForce mobo with 80G WD800JB (8M buffer), NTFS file
system (clear formatted at setup, not converted from FAT32), clean
installed XP pro, no problem what so ever.
