Hi Manuel

Hi, my name is Jason Marshall, and was given your e-mail address by Ian M.

Can you please assist us or give me your opinion regarding the messages
below, for
two of our Digital recorders that is experiencing database related problems.

We are faced with a decision either to replace the IDE cables, or to
to replace Hard drives. We see allot
of pci error messages. Does this indicate that the IDE cables
could be faulty, or is this drive related issues?
