I don't think that would be the case. The old drive is a WD Raptor. It's working once more after I did the USB enclosure and wiping partition trick. The new drive is a Crucial SSD. A SSD should draw even less power than a regular drive as far as I know? > All conjecture. > > After you write files to the windows drive you could unmount it then > remount it to check for file consistency.

Is there a tool on Linux to check for NTFS corruption? I was looking a little into that yesterday, and I've seen ways to ask for the drive to be checked by Windows upon restart, but that wouldn't help as my computer wouldn't accept the drive any more. I'm going to format the WD Raptor with NTFS, and try various file copy operations on it until I can recreate this problem again. I finished my fresh install of Windows 7 on the new drive and it's working perfectly fine, so I don't want to screw that up. -- Ravnox _______________________________________________ mlug mailing list [email protected] https://bureau.koumbit.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mlug-listserv.mlug.ca
