Upgraded a mates PC the other day and been having a few probs. Got them sorted apart from one -
When installing anything (OS, Games, Progs etc etc) I will get random copying errors e.g. "unable to copy file, press enter to retry" and messages like this. If I retry it will normally work but this sometimes takes a few attempts. The errors happen at random times as well so its not file errors i.e. it will report a corrupt file, try to install on another occasion and that file is fine.
I assume its IDE related so here's what I have done so far -
Replaced IDE cables
Tried diff HDD's and CD drives
Replaced PSU (this did improve things but still probs)
CD's all work in other machines.
I can copy files from CD to HDD manually. I then try to install from desktop (where I save files) and it will still error.
SeaTools report all physical devices as ok but the data on the drive showing as corrupt.
Have started an RMA on the MB (Gigabyte GA-7N400E-L) with Ebuyer as this is the only thing I can think of thats wrong.
Throwing it in here to see if anyone can come up with anything else
