Thanks fellas!  I'll try the chkdsk option and boot log option tonight and report 
back.

I generally don't leave anything attached to my usb port....I'd gotten it up and 
running a lot earlier, so I don't think usb drivers are the problem.

I'm using those brand new Hitachi 1 TB drives.  Never had Hitachi before so maybe 
they're not so reliable.  But I'll try the other suggestions and see what happens.

Thank you again.
