I have a computer in (about three months old, running XP Home with a Western Digital 80GB SATA drive and an Asus P5B-VM motherboard.) When I run CHKDSK within Windows, it tells me that Windows has found problems with the bitmap and to run with /f - when I do this and reboot, it runs normally, but the next CHKDSK gives the same error. When I run CHKDSK from within BartPE, it comes up clean. I've tried the following:
1)Updated BIOS
2)Switched from Enhanced to Compatible for SATA in CMOS
3)Cloned to a new drive
4)Ran MSConfig to boot clean
5)Disabled write caching on the HD

Same problem each time. There doesn't appear to a newer driver from Intel for the ICH8 SATA controller. Any ideas would be appreciated.
