That is to say, I'll reboot once in a while and browse to something on E: Then an error message pops up:

"E:\directory is inaccessible. The directory is corrupt and unreadable." If I reboot, a message shows that my drive(E:) needs to be checked for consistency. If I let it, a metric buttload of indices are deleted. I'd like to hear any opinions you guys may have.

Specs are:
Windows 2000 Pro, SP4
1.3GHz T-bird
512mb ram
(Side note, the drive is formatted as one drive, but is NOT on a promise card.)

I had the same error message and part of my RAM was broken.

How could faulty RAM lead to this error message? That's odd...

What's the drive formatted in? NTFS or Fat32. Maybe a stupid uestion but i can't bloody remember if FAT32 does 250Gig drives.

Sounds like a problem I had a log time ago; the drive wasn't recognized by the BIOS so I had to add it manualy. After inputting the exact drive parameters I had the same problem. Same problem after a BIOS update. Only after I decreased the size of the drive in the BIOS sligtly the problem was gone.

Formatted in NTFS.
