Hi,
I'm hoping somebody can help me out. I recently bought a 200Gb Maxtor (7200rpm) hard drive for a huge collection of MP3s, and my movie collection. I had around 110Gb on there in total.
The day after xmas (typical), I couldn't access one of the folders across the network. It's probably worth mentioning that the 200Gb drive is in a server which is on 24/7 on my home LAN. I logged onto the server (Windows 2000), and found that I couldn't access 75% of files/folders on the server, as I got an error saying that the file/folder is corrupted.
I rebooted and it ran a scandisk then started listing:
Deleting orphan file 1234 (and so on until it reached 50000 or something).
This took 40 mins then it said it was recovering the orphaned files and when it booted into Windows 2000 I had a load of found.000, found.001 folders with recovered data which was only about 10% of it.
Not a good start to the new year, but I have no idea why?
Is the 200Gb Maxtor crap?
Should it not be on 24/7?
Could it be the constant file access as I'm running FTP server as well?
I don't think I was hacked as I'm running a pretty well configured firewall and have up to date anti-virus software. But any comments from anyone about this would be much apreciated!
Thanks.
