Hi,

Recently vista has begun locking up for me. i can still move the mouse around but can't do anything else. My hard drive goes silent and the hard drive light goes on solidly. It will remain like this for 30-40 seconds before the hard drive clicks back into action..

When I look in event log I see hundreds of atapi errors. are these associated with my HDD?

The drive is less than a month old..

Event:

 
Event viewer states atapi errors now at 4656 within 24 hours. HD Tune and WDC diagnostics save drive is fine. Wondering is this could be sata/controller driver issue??

Have moved sata cables from optical and HDD drive to different slots. One in 2, one in 6.. Not hopeful

Anyone have any ideas?

Doesn't look like it's had any lockups all day since moving the sata cables to different ports further apart on the motherboard... Can anyone explain this?

Plus is having one in mobo port 2 and one in 6 correct - I have never seen any written rules about which port to connect HDDs and sata opticals to
