Nick,
For one, may i ask why you're reluctant to convert your SCSI HD to NTFS?
I read in an article and from past experience that win2k performs better
under
the NTFS environment. I have had similar problems as you have lately with
win2k
and large file support. We have a dual p3 800 with 3 33.6 lvd 10000 rpm SCSI
disks at work, which was originally bought to do our video editing and
encoding
using the Canopus and Matrox editing systems. When exporting an uncompressed
AVI
from the breakout box and capture card we would get an error maybe 1 out of
3 times.
Since then we have formated reinstalled and upgraded the systems with the
latest service
pack sp1 and the various downloads, and the problem appeared to fix itself.
In my
personal opinion the incompatibilty and poor setup ie. conflicting irq were
between
the editing cards and the win2k OS were the culpret in the above problem we
had
encoutered. Too many device drivers these days are poorly written and do
more
harm in the time and frustration then good.
In other words.. do the updates and hope for the best.
