If you suspect that the disk has a (physical) problem I would recommend to run MHHD program from a bootable CD/Floppy [0]. It creates a color map of the disk displaying the access time to each block and I/O errors. It helped me to save much time trying to solve problems like one in this thread. The only "con" of MHDD is that it's DOS-based ;) Cheers, Sergey [0] http://hddguru.com/content/en/software/2005.10.02-MHDD/
