I agree it maybe a power supply problem. If the drives work then do not this
could be the issue.

The CRC error you are talking about.  Was this on the IDE drive or on the C
Drive?  You might want to pull out the IDE drive and put it in a firewire or
USB box and see if it fixes the problem.

You do have a strange setup going SATA/IDE/SATA. But, It should work.

Subject: [H] Hard Drive Problems

 I need help on this one.  I have 4 hard drives in my system.

*Disk 1 Sata Raptor Raid Striped Set  drive letter = c *Disk 2 Sata Raptor
Raid Striped Set
*Disk 3 IDE WD drive                  drive letter = d
*Disk 4 WD Sata drive                 drive letter = e

Drive letter D disappeared twice from my system in the past week.  I'd
reboot and it would show up again under my computer, disk manager, etc.
However, when I try to copy data from d to C, I get a CRC error and it won't
finish copying.  I thought D was dying.  I ran WD tests on it and it came up
no problem.

However, I just opened their data lifeguard tools again and now drive E
shows up as failing SMART status.  It was passing earlier today.  When I run
a quick test on it I get "Status code = 04 (unknown failed test element),
Failure checkpoint = 64 (SMART attribute test).

So does this mean that Drive is is the culprit?  If so, why would D be
disappearing?

Thanks,

Chris
