Hi All,
Thank you all for posting to this thread. I've been experiencing similar problems,
though the corruption to my file system has been more fatal and has prevented me
from using the system 95% of the time.
I built the box in mid July. I'm running Win XP Pro on top of two Seagate 120GB
SATA drives setup in a RAID-0 configuration with NTFS. I'm using the RAID controller
built into the motherboard (A7N8X Deluxe), a Silicon Image Sil 3112A controller.
RAM is a pair of Corsair TWINX1024-3200LL DIMMs. The box ran stable for the first
three weeks after I completed the build. One day I booted up into the BSOD. After
restoring the system, it would run fine for a few days then, BAM, file corruption
errors and eventually the BSOD. I found a post to try memtest86 to test out my RAM.
I did and found some errors on one of the two Corsair DIMMs. I removed the effected
module and am running the box on one DIMM.
So I'm thinking problem solved, and I repair my Windows installation for the 40th
time. System runs stable for a couple of days then BAM, more file corruption problems
and the BSOD.
It got to the point where I would leave the system on for days at a time, running
CHKDSK from the command prompt only to find new errors cropping up all the time.
I tried to turned the box off without letting XP shutdown and still XP somehow gets
corrupted. I'm going to throw in the towel on NTFS and try FAT32.
I noticed some other posts here with people having problems with NTFS and RAID.
I hope this fixes the problem. If this doesn't work, it's back to Windows ME.
