    Is it ONLY JPGs, or do other files get corrupted when transferred to the

    problem drive? How about GIFs? Or BMPs. Or DOCs, or TXT files, etc.?

    Test some non-image files. Zip files, CAB files, EXE files (like

    NOTEPAD.EXE, from the Windows folder, and REGEDIT.EXE, WINPOPUP.EXE,

    CALC.EXE.), all of these will be easy to test. Also DOC files if you have

    Word, that kind of thing.

     

    Just copy them over and see if they open/function.

    I haven't discovered any other types of corrupted files in my previous

    tests, but when I tried again yesterday all different types of files got

    corrupted, not just images.

    Then you definitely have a hardware problem and only a formal t-shooting

    will pinpoint it. For instance, try a different cable, next a different SATA

    connector on the mobo, and even try yet another HDD.

     

    Is the mobo still under warranty? And why did you let this go on for months?

    Computers almost never fix themselves.
