Hi,

I have two different servers (different models and manufacturing
years), but both of them running Windows 2000 server with
software mirrored NTFS drives, which suddenly corrupt small
image thumbnail files after an hour or two.

MS has updated the article, to acknowledge the problem with
potential file corruption.

While the KB920958 file has not yet been re-released, MS is
offering a Hot Fix as detailed in
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/925308
==========================================
To resolve this problem immediately, contact Microsoft Product
Support Services to obtain the hotfix. For a complete list of
Microsoft Product Support Services phone numbers and information
about support costs, visit the following Microsoft Web site:

Following up:
The HotFix (HOT-FIX_287398_ENU_i386_zip.exe for
Windows2000-KB925308-x86-ENU.EXE) appears here to have entirely
resolved the file corruption issue. No test files copied into, out
of, or edited in-place (in +C location) suffered any damage
whatsoever. "Test files" includes files known to corrupt pre-
HotFix. Recall that in all probability any files damaged pre-
HotFix will remain damaged (not specifically tested here).

Installed HotFix on W2K Pro, NTFS, SP4+ and without uninstalling
Windows2000-KB920958-x86-ENU.EXE (MS06-049)

FWIW and YMMV
