Hi,

U didn't provide any info about what U made to the drive with PC3k.
It probably had some bad sectors beforehands, but now...
If it is not giving those errors, I suppose U scanned the drive and remapped the bads, in this case it is possible U are facing the problem of shifting caused by the remap to PSHT.

regards,
pepe
