I think it's the stupid motherboard.
I have tried another cable, I have tried another power source for the drive, I have tried the drive in another computer, did not seem to have any of the problems in the other computer, there were no error logs when I used the hd in the other computer, I even used the same cable I was using in this computer in the other one.
I have tried booting off of bartpe and copying a file to the hd and it does the same thing, quotes a time, gets longer and longer and then when I check the log there are errors for the disk.
