data / archive corruption
Posted: Sun Jan 19, 2003 11:35 am
i have 2 lg drives an 8480b cd-rw and 8161b dvd i am using them on a leadtek nforce2 board and i am struggling to install winxp because the drives cant read files on the cd. its never the same file either. when i did get xp setup any archive files (ie xp service pack 1) i was told were corrupt but yet they read ok. i have used round ata133 cables and flat one incase this was the problem i have also swapped the cables round so i have the rw +dvd on the same cable and then the rw on its own with the dvd on the hdd cable. still no joy. has anyone had this problem also? thanks in advance ps hdd is ata133 maxtor 60gb
