You seemed to summarize my problems perfectly. I had a massive mp3 collection (30k
files or so) and I am always ripping CDs, decompressing SHNs, compressings mp3s and
so on. Quite frequently these files are moving back and forth between my networked
computers using file sharing. Sometimes the drive is moved from computer to computer
(all different OSes) and sometimes it is used as a USB drive.
There have been about a dozen times I thought I've lost my entire collection. Sometimes
the drive won't get recognized. Sometimes it is recognized but some of my file folders
are empty. Sometimes the files are there and play fine. Sometimes I will play one
song at Winamp instead plays an entirely different song. I have a relatively up
to date backup (its a 200gig backup!) but that drive shows a few errors every now
and agan too.
Most of my use is through WinXp, but I've had problems with W2k as well. I will
need to start doing some experimenting. We'll see how it all works out.
