So I finally made the switch last night to a single-boot Vista box. I stuck a small 80gb drive as the master drive and a 300gb as the storage drive. I was transferring about 120gb of data from the 300gb drive to a server, and about halfway through, explorer froze sorta, then after a few minutes, the transfer failed. The 300gb drive totally disappeared from view, and even running a plug-n-play hardware search comes up with nothing.
I rebooted the machine and the bios didn't recognize it. So I rebooted again, and it came back up. I tried the transfer again, and it died after about 20gb of data had transfered.
The drive is practically brand new, but has been in use for a few months. The cable is REALLY old, but how often do cables go out? Any ideas?
