    You should try to make a scan at 5x speed which is recommended for NEC/Optiaric drives and these drives are not reliable scanners.

    BTW my another problem is that I can't flash modified firmwares on my 7170 drive, only original fws... It says "error sending fw to drive"... I think my disc problem's reason is the fw (1.02) and can be resolved by flashing another fw but I can't...

    I don't think your OS is causing the trouble. It will probably be either the SATA chipset or the chipset drivers

    Hmm.. I have Asus A8N-SLI Premium mainboard and using silicon image sata controllers. Maybe trying nvidia controller will solve the problem?

    It should at least be worth trying.
