I ran scandisc from windows 98 yesterday before the "fatal error"

Today I used Seatools diagnostic utility and it passed both the short and long test
I also ran scandisk from dos and did a surface scan too but it did not find any problems
The hard drive is not too old and it was working with the other board
Or I should say I did't have these kind of problems it was just too slow
I think it's some kind of random board failure or perhaps something is not compatible
