Im having the same problems with my 2nd PC that i use mainly to play SH3 window files are currupting left right and centre so to speak. But i know what the problem is, - the graphics card which is an oldie Radeon 9600xt when ever i use it i get currupted files in windows, apart from that it can run sh3 doesn't lock up etc., but i think the grfx card has a heating problem, cause if i go back to the onboard video everything is sweet - yet i can't play SH3 as its only a 32mb onboard vid. So i have to use this 9600XT.

Maybe try a different gfx card and see if the currupt files cease. If video card gets hot it will currupt windows overtime.

I recommend to everybody, for those who doesnt know, to use you hd S.M.A.R.T. thing, its made for one reason, to prevent data loss. Warning you before the hd start to malfunction, you need a diagnostic tool to read the s.m.a.r.t status.

And even more important than that, use NTFS and not FAT32 as a hd data format. Once I changed to NTFS, never had any more data corruption or data loss.

A Hard Drive is never really dead.
I learned how to work with a hex editor because of HD failures.
If your brave and daring?
You can take the disks from a failed HD and put them in a doner drive.
You'd be amazed how much time can be saved!
Not to mention lot's of work you by pass!
