PMFJI >>>I have a thought that your problems seem to be intermittant file corruption. ie. it seems by your description that it is never a repeatable problem. Assuming that both the drive and the board are functioning OK you might look else where for the problem. Like cables and power supply intermittancy. I once had a problem with one of my machines corrupting a frame during the rendering process.<<< The intermittant problems are the most difficult to diagnose. I hard a customer with intermittent read/write errors on his hard drive. Turned out his hardcard power connector was flaky, I plugged the hard drive directly into the power supply and the problem is gone. I would strip everything out of the computer that I didn't need and see how that works. Or I would put the PAR into another machine and bang around on the system to see if it breaks.
