*** Official ASUS P5W DH Thread ***

Hi A follow up on the above problem. I installed an old 30GB IDE disk on the Jmicron controller instead of the 250GB. The PC seems to run stably with this disk. I also installed the 250GB back in my old pc. Again the disk seems to be fine and stands up to data transfer that caused it to...
