1. Does Windows 7 fix the problem?
2. Has anyone found a solution for this problem in Windows XP?
Reply 1 : Windows XP problems with firewire
After a few years of corrupted hard drives my solution was to never connect a HDD with firewire to Windows XP. There were considerable discussions about this issue but if you look at the players involved one can guess it was the old not invented here issue. Of course that's anyone's guess.
It's also noted that some time ago I read messages on the microsoft xp discussion channels that the firewire disk driver of XP is just defective and data loss can occur. Don't know if it was ever resolved but around here we know to avoid that connection except for camcorders.
We know there is no hardware issue because the Linux OS runs fine on the same boxes.
Given the stories, I have to write as the doctor did when the patient said "Doctor, it hurts when I do this?"
