The same thing repeats every so often.  What does this mean?  I've read
other threads (Drives Dieing) about possibly shutting down dma or
reinstalling the system, but is that the best solution to this kind of
problem?


Backup, backup, backup ;-)

You'll need a Real Expert(tm) to help on the ILLEGAL_LENGTH error, but
I've seen UNCORRECTABLE plenty.  Keep in mind that it may cost some time
and energy to find out; apart from a bad disk, could be a bad disk *controller*.

I bought two new HDD's recently because of similar problems, but all of
them are now working fine on a new motherboard :-/

Sorry no help here :-/
