CRC errors indicate data corruption, often a failing HDD. Try
swapping out the 80 wire ata/66 cable for an old 40 wire ata/33 cable
(both use the same connectors), or if you can, disable ata/66 in bios.
If you still get errors disable DMA for the drive (see info hdparm).
If the system is oc'd and your PCI bus isn't 33 mhz, set the system
back to default speed.
Backup anything you can't afford to loose now.
