Just ran into a WEIRD problem with a Maxtor 25128 120mb IDE 2.5 inch drive on a A1200. Formats perfect, shows no bad blocks, but when certain programs are 'called up' from the drive they act weird. Virus checker says all is well. Other drive (Seagate) does not experience same weirdness. Interestingly QBTools says BOTH partitions on the MXT25128 have 'problem' on the root and says it will fix it but it doesn't. And that's IMMEDIATELY after a completely fresh 'format' operation. Absolutely stumped – never seen such a weird problem. Drive acts clean, but affects programs.
