Check all cables/ribbons going to the drive. Make sure none of them are damaged or have bent pins. A bent or misaligned pin can do that type of corruption. Maybe just swap out the ribbon/cable and try to capture again, that may solve the problem. What type of drive is it? If it is SCSI, make sure it is terminated properly. Or, it could be that the drive is just dying. Have you tried to capture using a different drive? Try these suggestions first. If all else fails, a new drive may be in order, but I suspect it is related to the connections.
