Default Bad Seagate Hd
Well, I'm sure, my hd is completly pooped.
You can see what happened a few days ago in this tread: http://www.overclock.net/showthread.php?t=25685

After reinstalling XP it worked a couple days and then the thing happened again... So I reinstalled xp one more time and my 60Gb partition where I had my files had no format.
Then I installed linux mandrake 10.1 on the 20Gb partition and it worked fine, and I could access the 60Gb partition with my files, but only some folders had files.
On a desperate attempt I tried installing win2k, but it took like 3hrs to format 80Gb (no partitions). After that it worked fine(right now I'm on win2k), but I'm sure it'll take no time to crash again.

Now I wonder why it worked perfectly under linux (fs ext2/3), and not under windows(fs ntfs)

How could that possibly happen? If windows is corrupting Hd's, microsoft would be in big trouble.

Windows is amazingly unstable compared to most other Operating Systems, it could just be the luck that a program has evaded the safeguards of Windows and caused that curruption.

It just looks like something under the windows side, or wear and tear from using windows more has caused the problem. You need to get a new HDD.

I'm getting a new hd, but this one is just 2 months old, how could that happen so fast? I'm pretty sure it was already corrupted, and a few reinstalls just ruined it.

Being that new it has to be a manufacturing problem, go ahead and RMA it.

I know it is only 2 months old, but do me a favor and check the label of the HD for it's addressing method (LBA, etc) and make sure your bios recognizes it correctly (and change from AUTO to LBA or whatever the label says it should be)

My Hitachi (I think thats what it is) wouldn't autodetect correctly, and produced very similar issues to yours.
