What do you think ?? An ICRC error is an error detected by the IDE controller. It usually means a cabling problem, as a disk error would be reported by the drive, not the controller. From the ATA spec: ICRC shall be set to one if an interface CRC error has occurred during an Ultra DMA data transfer. The content of this bit is not applicable for Multiword DMA transfers. There are other error bits that indicate uncorrectable media errors. -- Dan Nelson dnelson_at_allantgroup.comReceived on Mon Jun 02 2003 - 21:23:36 UTC
