It's been running ok so the jumpers should be set correctly.  Have you
replaced the IDE cable?

I had this happen to me with a Western Digital drive.  Go to the Western
Digital web site and get their diagnostic software.  Try to run it on the
drive.  You may have to disconnect your main hard drive and run the WD drive
as a master to run the diagnostics.  Check your jumper settings when you do
this.  On the drive I had, the diagnostics couldn't even see the drive at
all.  It was toast.  WD has an easy RMA process.
