Problems with archive files corruption after installing a WD 5000AAKS drive. Some of the files I copied from my previous hard drive are now corrupted.
Another example,I create a ZIP file and tested it and is OK.
Then shut computer down and re-boot....test same file previously created and now saying..can not extract file because is corrupted.
Anyone experience this before ?
Drive is running fine and fast with incredible readings.
Even tested it with Western Digital Tools and pass all tests.
I placed pins on position 5-6 so drive is fully compatible with Sata 1.0 standard as stated on their website.
I have a Abit NF-S 2.0 mobo with a Athlon XP mobile and running the latest Bios.
Any ideas ?

Cheers

Thanks for the advice mate,

I did a search through Google and visited other forums and understand of the following :

Will update to latest SiI 3112 controller driver.
Will try to change the EXT-P2P setting in the BIOS from 30 microseconds to 1 milisecond to see if I can cure the problem.

Will have a try this eve when I get home.
 
Updated to latest driver v 1.0.0.50 and changed EXT-P2P settings in the BIOS from 30 microseconds to 1 milisecond.
No more file corruption...and excellent readings up to 72.6 Mb/s Avg sequential reading using HD tach 3.0.
Problem solved so far !

Cheers
