Your hard-disk may be dying or you may have a problem with the cable/the controller. What sort of disk is this ? If it's an old IDE model, is your ribbon cable a 80-wire one ? It may be worth it to change it. You may also want to reduce DMA speed as a workaround (you should be able to do it from the BIOS). -- Francois Tigeot
