Hi all,

I recently installed Vista on a rig using 2x Western Digital SE16 3200KS drives. The first drive (the one with the vista install) is my c: drive and works fine, the second one (d:) seems to have a few issues.

I can copy or write data to it without problems but if I try to take anything off it, it takes forever, and after a few MB I get an I/O error 8007045d.

I've googled and found a small number of people who have a similar issue with WD drives used as a secondary drive, but nobody seems to have a solution to the issue.

Any ideas? Or are WD drives just not good for Vista?
 
Well I ran WD's disc diagnostic utility. It failed after a few hours because it found too many errors to continue :-/.

RMA time I guess.
