I just reinstalled winxp on my scsi drive. I couldnt run for more than 15 minutes before it would blue screen and rebot. Win would start back up with chkdsk which says things like:

Correcting encrypted file record segment 144002.

Correcting encrypted file record segment 141747.

Correcting encrypted file record segment 142150.

I pulled these out of norton just now. Anyways, I tired reinstalling winxp after a format and I kept getting coping errors from the cd. I could force though them by hitting enter till it read the file. I tired to install it five times but i kept getting new error messages every time dealing with copying files and reading them. I tired 2 differant cdroms and 3 hard drives. I managed to get 2000 installed after about the 3rd try. Nothing is stable, programs crash for no reason. I can not install anything from cds. I ran aida32 which says all three hard disks are normal. Thanks for the help.

Have you done some testing of the hard drive? Sounds like a bad hard drive to me.

Yep, sure sounds like the drive got scrambled or is dying...
