Okay well I tried another test. I left the 160GB on the primary IDE channel, took out both optical drives, and put the 60GB on the secondary IDE channel by itself. I copied the data over again. No errors this time. I checksummed the data, and everything is OK.

The cables are new, and the other drive on the same channel works in UDMA133 with no errors. The motherboard is new as well, fresh from the factory (unless it's defective). > If you use BIOS or atacontrol to slow down to UDMA 33 speeds, does > everything work OK? I tried slowing it down to UDMA66 speeds via atacontrol, and the errors went away on the 80GB. I haven't tried the 60GB drive yet. -Mark
