Parkk, I don't know who or where you are. But I hope life brings you everything you'll ever need or hope for. You're a life saver. Your solution DOES work. And regardless of whether the problem persists in the future, this is a lot quicker than any other methods I've tried. I was honestly starting to price new hard drives. You saved me money, time and hair
. I can't thank you enough. I've gone through switching towers but the problem continued exactly two weeks after I changed them, so I knew it would have to be something in much more detail, and you found it. Thank you so much Parkk. And for those with similar problems, definitely check out Parkk's thread on this subject. Thank you so much. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
