Re: VIA VT8237R+ chipset [SOLVED]

The ICRC errors indicate data corruption on the way from the
drive to the controller (i.e. bad cables or induction of noise).

This is definitely a hardware problem that is only detected by
the CRC unit in the IDE adapter.

As a work-around reduce the data rate to UDMA33 (which worked
with 40pin cables; but beware that the transfer could still be
silently corrupted, since UDMA33 is not protected by ICRC and
transmission errors could therefore remain undetected).

Your are a genious!
Thank you. I tried to change hdd and motherboard, but not the cable

BTW: How about upgrading to 6.2 ;-)

Thinking about it as I got also USB problems

cheers

Thanks again

Alex
