- I recently bought a Maxtor 1.6 gig drive for my 1200. I use an external
- XDS case to mount the 3.5" drive. Before this I had a maxtor 345 meg.
-
- I was successful in hooking up both drives and basically do a mass copy of all
- the files, although now there are more partitions. I went into the config
- files/startups and modified all the drive specs. All programs seem to work
- fine now.
-
- The problem is that I have noticied, is that while working downloading files
- thru the internet, sometimes I have problems getting a good image of the file.
- For example, using AMosaic, I downloaded the same file 3 times. The first
- two files, I could uncompress fine. The last one had errors when I was
- uncompressing it. The file does not have any errors when copying it and all
- three files were the same size. The partition had no errors. At first I
- thought it was something I setup wrong, but double checked everything. I never
- had any of these problems with the old drive.
-
- How could I get the same byte count for all three files, but different
- contents? Can something setup wrong with the new drive (max transfer, mask)
- cause these types of errors?
-

- Thanks in advance,
