Just because Windows doesn't alert you to the problem, doesn't mean it isn't
happening there too.  

I had a problem with my hard drives that took me over a year to solve.  The
problem showed up as CRC errors in syslog.  No lost data, ever.  Windows never
said a word.  The problem was the cables, replacing them with $40 80 wire ATA
100 cables and dropping the speed back to ATA 100 from ATA 133 solved the
problem.  So it wasn't a driver problem and must have been happening in
Windows too.  

Note: cheap ($7), shielded ATA 133 cables did not solve the problem.  Dropping
from ATA 133 to ATA 100 reduced my disk throughput by 10% according to
Bonnie.  I can live with it.
