One more detail ... my IDE disk has only 1 partition ... NTFS ... I have
a Windows XP there (which I haven't used in weeks).

I might have  identified how the problem was originated (I can't be sure
since it randomly appears). Several weeks ago I configured Azureus
(torrent downloader) to save the downloaded files in a directory in the
IDE disk.

It seems that the freezing occurs (randomly) when I try  to access
(edit, view, copy, etc) for the first time (no problems the second time)
the Azureus downloaded file(s); It doesn't matter if Azureus is still
running or not (I exited the Azureus program). By the way, the
downloaded files are Ok (Azureus verifies them after downloading and I
re-check them with md5sum).

Could the problem might be related to the NTFS read/write support ?? ...
Azureus makes massive read/writes to the IDE disk (NTFS)

As for myself, I re-configured Azureus to save the downloaded files in
the SATA disk and I haven't had anymore problems (at least the last 2
days).

Thanks,
