Thank you for the answer!
Basically I feared the same thing. Another thing I have learnt is that
Maxtor & VIA chipset don't go nicely together always! There is rather
long thread on the subject in the VIA - forum
(http://www.viaarena.com/). So I'll do what you suggested & then go to
buys some new hardrives & rid of these old ones (OLD - lol - like 10
months old).
I really appreciated this
