Denis, I didn't follow your first thread si may be offering something already suggested.
Open the case and reseat all the cables and check that any jumpers on the HD are actually jumpering. Many years ago I had a bad jumper on a (SCSI) drive that caused all kind or odd errors and unseated cables have caused no end of head aches. Also check that the CPU heat sink and fan are not blocked. Cat fur and computers are not good house mates.
