I wanted to put the XP system on the Sata, but was unable to make it work, as my main board does not BIOS recognize Sata. (Asus A7v8x) The 'old bad' (Sight!) was a 160 Go Maxtor. Seatools (Dos) does not see any problems, but (XP tool) does not work at all (can't even read SMART data) >On your first disk, XP is apparently on E:.

C is just a small FAT partition usable with DOS stuff and the initial boot D is the first partition on the 1 To, and contains data (videos....) and pictures (This is how the disk are recognized, 1 IDE, then 1 Sata) E is the system disk and programms (and swap file) (80 Go) F contains my datas (Access, Office, mails, VB, C), but no programs except some VB homemade (also on the 80 Go) G to J are data only disks on the 1To > >And looking at the other post, it really looks like you did not perform >a proper Clean Install. > I started from a newly formatted partition, and re-installed everything, starting from XP, then Norton, then all my usual programms from the 'setup's files.

And as I said, except after some freezing (my DVD player was freezing XP in some instances, needing a 'hard' reboot), I never had any errors on the 'data' disk, being the current one or the old 'bad' disk. (I am fully convinced that it was not a disk problem) Regards, Jean Paulo.

Disregard what I said earlier about it looking like you hadn't performed a Clean Install. I had erroneously assumed you had performed a *second* clean install, which of course would have meant there would not have been any references to lightningsand.cfd. Are you currently having any problems? That one issue with Avira might have just been a hiccup. Did you happen to look at these pages?: http://forum.avira.com/wbb/index.php?page=Thread&postID=791899 http://forum.avira.de/wbb/index.php?page=Thread&postID=784685

I agree that the latest crash may be accidental (as I said, it followed a 'hard reboot' when the system freezed), and the avira file could be corrupted because of that. I am now waiting. As the problem occured irregularly, I will feel it solved if it does not occurs again the next month.... So for now, thanks for your help, I will reopened a thread if necessary.
