It's been pretty unstable for months now, randomly throwing BSOD errors and most recently caused my entire email inbox to disappear. Thankfully I'm obsessive about backing up so have yet to have any real data loss that I couldn't recover, but it's only a matter of time. It just happens so rarely (maybe once a week) that I've just shrugged it off in the interest of being up and working, but I've decided however long I need to be down to determine the problem, I'll just need to do it. So after a day and a half spent making doubly sure everything is fully backed up and then spending over 2 days running all the Dell Diagnostics (with two 500 gig drives, the HD ones in particularly take FOREVER to run!) I still have no idea what is wrong. Dell wants me to just wipe the system clean and reinstall everything from scratch but I hate the idea of spending all that time only to most likely have the same problem appear again (if it is indeed an underlying HW issue as I suspect it is) but not sure what else to do at this point. So anyone have any other thoughts on what I should do to try and figure this out? I'm running my two HDs in a RAID 1 configuration (mirrored), and currently still on XP Pro SP2. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;203748912;27390454;j Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:263910 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5
