Nah - I've eliminated the new drive so it's not that.  The SCSI controller is 
raid capable, but no raid in use.  The primary drive is SCSI and the system has 
been extremely stable for over two years - I can see the issue just copying 
between two partitions on that SCSI disk.  I even turned off hyperthreading 
(Rick Mack keeps tells me it can cause stability problems but I've never seen 
that to be the cause) but that didn't help.  

I did take a zipped copy via DVD to another system and unzipped it there 
without issue so it isn't a "general OS issue" (although the other system is 
2003 SP1).  I'm running the full suite of hardware diags tonight and I'll try 
out a new bios in the morning.  I was just hoping for someone to say "I saw 
that once".

Not seen it before, but I can't believe its a drive problem, those
tend to completely kill windows if theyre no good :)

Could it be a driver problem? Are these disks RAID'ed? SCSI controller? SATA?
