Hard drive from hell!
Okay, I've got a 20GB Maxtor, that I think is going kaput. First, I get a new motherboard (Epox 8K3A+) and, now this hard drive seems to be giving me errors from hell, yet a 2nd 40GB drive hasn't be givin me any trouble at all.

No big deal, I thought...Now 2 out of the three partitions on it cannot be checked for errors---and this is hooked up to a different PC, just to test it out...so like WTF? Everything is NTFS...

On the good PC it's hooked up to, I tried formatting one of the partitions, and while it does this, I still cannot scan the disk for errors at all.
Download the Maxtor Diagnostics ( www.maxtor.com ) . Geesh.
