I just found this thread and I too am glad to hear that I am not alone. My new system
uses an Intel motherboard with SATA RAID - I thought that the problem was due to
the RAID controller, but your descriptions match mine too well. The answer as to
corruption, unfortunately, is YES - I expereienced actual corruption of the disk
and had to fix it before the comptuer would boot. Fotunately, CHKDSK seems to be
enough to fix it. I seem to have isolated true corruption as occuring only during
shutdown. To avoid this corruption, I started to turn off the power without doing
a Windows shutdown - I know that this is exactly opposite of what Microsoft tells
us to do, but it seems to work for me. Any comments and experiences from other folks
would be appreciated. For reference, I am running XP Pro with SP1. The hard disk
is SATA RAID (Silicon Image 3112r) with two WD800JB drives partitioned as a stripe
set (RAID 0) and a single NTFS partition of 149GB.
