Win 2000, Zone Alarm, Random Reboots and other goodies

[Andy Mason]

Well, I wouldn't call this official, but it's another source anyway.
I wouldn't call it irresponsible to advise prudence on a matter that could
potentially be this important...

Jeff:

Please send us the link to page on MS's web site that describes this problem
with "data loss on Maxtor hard drives" and Windows 2000 SP1.

I spent time looking for this on MS's support site and did not come up with
a match.  Nor on Maxtor's site.  

I feel it almost irresponsible to make a statement of this sort on a major
mailing list without providing a link with more information.  Rumors get
started this way.

Thanks,

-Mike

This is one of the many known problem with sp1.  Uninstall then reinstall
the CD-writer software and it should fix it.

After hearing some of the problems with SP1, I was very glad I hadn't had
time to install it on my servers.  Especially the problem with data loss on
Maxtor hard drives.  Only MS would screwup with that kind of crap.
