I've just suffered my [b:0cea511104]3rd Hard Disk[/b:0cea511104] meltdown in as many months......

This time I lost all [b:0cea511104]MY[/b:0cea511104] data, all 120 gb's.........My mate's got my drive now and is checking it out............

I'm getting a ATA 133 Hard Disk Controller for the Maxtor 160gb Hard Disk................

This time on a reboot.....An error came up, that one of my drives needed to be checked for consistency, on checking it found all the files had invalid links..........I assume the Fat table had been corrupted some how.............On repairing, all files were reported to be 32k in size and corrupt.........when I rebooted into Partition Magic to format...........PM7.0 told me that the disk was already formatted and all the space was free????????

I have since done a low level format on the disk to get rid of any remmants of corruption.....

I'm going to go on to NTFS with the ATA133 Controller Card...........

Have NE1 got any other ideas as to what may be causing this corruption.........

I'm slowly going Mental.............

Any Advice & Help most gracefully received............
