Hardwa ASUS A7N8X Motherboard (1004 Bios), Seagate 80GB SATA Hard
Drive, high quality ram, case, ps.
OS: Windows XP Pro (1.0.0.22 SiI3112A SATA drivers)
Problem: Hard drive data corruption (NTFS boot drive).
The problem is cured with the VERY LATEST BIOS.
Flash it, then reformat ALL your drives, and reinstall Windows XP. Use
the
.29 SATA driver from here

Other than the corrupted partition, why is it necessary to reformat all
drives?
Because you need to remove the corruption that's already present.
If you want to miss out this step, then go ahead. But it's likely you'll run
into problems later.
