I think I may have narrowed down the problem.
it appears there may be something wrong with my Western Digital disk. If I
run any program on it, which has two logical drives, I'll get the
machine_check_exception error. ad-Aware, chkdsk, file copy, file cut,
anything returns the error. Now, any suggestion how to get about 500 files
off the drive so I can run fdisk and format on it?
