The drive is PATA I put it in an external enclosure to be able to run Drive Genius 2, Disk Utility and DiskWarrior on it connected to the G5 PM via Firewire because the G4 MDD chokes on the drive.
Its probably bad ... by choking if you mean folders on it don't open right away ... spinning beach ball ... etc. Maybe replace the ATA cable if it was crimped ... but its probably gone bad.
