    SOME files on the HDD dissappear on another computer

    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.

    No, there is no encoding program. just plain old FAT32. It's very weird.

    Problem Adding Old HD To New Comp

    what is your OS ? you know win98 can't access NTFS (except with a piece of software: NFTS reader or something) You can also try Partition MAgic and convert NTFS to FAT32 if this is the problem. Check the jumper settinhs, cable connections also.

    SOME files on the HDD dissappear on another computer

    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)

    Problems with HD and XP

    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
