Hope someone can help im stumpt !!!!!!!!! Picture the scene........

1 windows 2000 server C:\ operting system D:\files 112GB E:\files 112GB

in a small busness running as a simple file server to 6 PCs and 2 Mac's.

the data\files on the D:\ and E:\ drives keep becoming corrupt (orphaned files that delete on restart) this problem has been going on for about 2 months know.

So far the Server has been rebuilt, New Hard drives,mobo,Memory,PSU,IDE cabes and the problem persists.

Whilst their today the owner told me that the server was rock solid till the moved to a new building, I then noticed that all the network cables run under the tables along side the extension leads for the power supplies for the PCs 6 way extension plug into another 6way extension infact the network cables where mostly tangled around them

What Im asking could this be causing the corrupt files/HDDs on the server

the data on the server(D:\ E:\) is coming via the networked clients? if so i'd say cables? what type of cabling is laid down? UTP/STP?

yeah the work is created on the network clients then saved onto the server on completion D:\ is for the MAC work and E:\ for the PC work. Not sure about the cables but im sure its just CAT5 UTP
