I'm having a similar problem on a new Laptop with a Toshiba 60gig hard drive running
XP Pro. I don't have Raid though. My problem is with big folders of jpeg files
in a sub folder of "My Documents" folder. I get the error message "The Instruction
at 0x77f580db reference memory at 0x0057005c. Memory could not be written."
Let me know if you get your problem fixed or figure out other ways around it. This
is causing me some headaches!!!!
