OK, Now I'm Livid - Windows 2000 SP4 Trashed Another Large Drive

I just built this AMD box...

MSI K8N Neo4-F Motherboard
AMD Athlon 64 3200+
1GB Crucial Ram
200GB Western Digital HD
EVGA Geforce 256 Video Card

I installed the Windows 2000 SP4, then after about 2 hours of installs
and copying data from my old drive **POW** file copy error! I was
forced to reboot and just like last time Chkdsk went to work trashing
the drive. This time it was an AMD system with a 200GB Western
Digital drive, last time it was an Intel system and a 200GB Maxtor.

I'm desperately trying to figure out what's going on. Are there any
known issues with W2K and large drives?

I did find this link, so I know I'm not the only one that's
experiencing this kind of data loss...

Any information about how I can prevent this in the future would be
great appreciated.

Thank you,
