that might be it.. i'll check the parameters on another computer.
I have also noticed that on the first computer (the one that can "see" the files) strange stuff appeared: folders with 200Gb of %^&$%&*( and stuff like that.
I tried putting a 20gb cap limit (jumper on hdd) but it won't boot at...
what is your OS ?
you know win98 can't access NTFS
(except with a piece of software:

You can also try Partition MAgic and convert

slow transfer: old P II-466Mhz - 1mb/s rate
Computer: HP Vectra P II 466, 128 RAM, HD1 10 Gb, HD2 40Gb.

Even if it's HD1 to HD2; 2to2 or 1to1 the transfer rate is under 1mb/sec. Even the network transfer...
nope... the second machine does't have other problems.
had some trouble with chkdsk on a 120gb HDD but solved'em by fdisk-erase&create again partition.
Could it be a IDE-cable problem ?
I can;t set in bios the access mode (UDMA5 or smth)
A solution: Bios update.
B solution: XP installation CD, boot it and go to system repair-automatic system repair. Might as well be some virus problems, or missing system files. Try CTR-alt-del to see if it pops up the Task manager and try to run tasks from there
I have a 40g maxtor on a P3/win98. I temporarely installed the HDD on another computer (p4, w98+w2000), BUT, to my surprise, some files (20gb of movies and stuff) were gone...
The folders were still in place. Some files were ok. Some files were corrupt (600Mb of 000000) Both on win98&w2k...
