Thanks LLXX and everyone who contributed. The version 4.10.2225F works fine on my Win 98SE box. My PC's mobo is a Soltek SL-75FRN2L with an AMD 2000XP + nVidia nForce 2 Ultra 400 chipset. It's using LLXX's ESDI_506.pdf in c:\windows\system\iosubsys on both IDE channels. I've got a Seagate 7200.10 Barracuda 320G as the second disk drive, fdisked into 3 100GB partitions. First I filled up the partition 1, ran SFV32 v0.3a - (SimpleFileValidate) to make the CRC of the files, filled up the 2nd partition, ran SFV32 on those files, then filled up the 3rd partition and then CRC'ed those files. Then I reran SFV32 on all the partitions and compared the CRCs generated now and before and they all matched up fine - indicating no data corruption. I have turned off scandskw and scandisk.exe to prevent self-corruption and then use a 3rd party disk checker such as norton dd and the partitions checked out fine. Previously whenever copy files past the 137GB mark, my first partition would get all corrupted. But luckily the data on that drive is re-creatable :-( until I found out about 48bit LBA and this wonderful thread. Thanks...LLXX again and everyone... Oh has anyone found out or is it my imagination that version 2225F looks a bit slower than the original 98SE 2222 (no-mod)?
