I see that both of you show abnormally high CPU utilization.

Haven't a clue why, just thought I'd point that out.

Carry on.

problem sorted,I think,resolved by removing the sata cable completly,and repositioning it,from the sata 1 slot to the sata 2 slot on the m/board and reconnectin,seems like sata cables are a bit prone to working loose,thanks to all for suggestions

That's true, the new SATA II connectors have retaining clips. I would have thought it would simply stop working though. Presumably the CPU was running high trying to sort out all the CRC errors.

Edit: @HCT, obviously your problem can't be exactly the same, but it must be worth checking your cables.

It'll be interesting to see if it do's resolve his problem,as if we don't have enough probs with the bloody machines without it being simple yet hard to spot problems like a cable not being pushed in far enough,sheesh :pinch:

EDIT: just checked the cables, still same problem

Ah.
At least I was half right then.

Glad you found the problem.

I was going to comment that your second drive was far from fine, although not as severely affected.
