If you don't mind, please send to the lists at linux-mandrake, not 
mandrake-linux.  I've not taken the time to setup my filters to catch 
everything (to anyone reading this with the full regexp string to catch 
the variations this list passes, I'd be very appreciative if you would 
share).

The error sounds like a hardware one.  You could have a bad hard disk, 
bad/flaky controller on the motherboard, or you could have a bad/flaky 
cable.  I've had the problem with the motherboard controller on an old 
TX-II Pro motherboard (SIS chipset of the 233-300Mhz era).  In that case 
under Windows, the controller would spontaneously reboot the machine every  
few days and give random data corruption.  Linux would rarely run on it, 
and died very early, often during boot.  My best guess is that Windows 
does not use that hardware as efficiently as Linux and thus shows the 
problems slower.
