Re: "hda : lost interrupt." Why do I get this?

Hi 
   Somewhere I heard that you get this message if you connect the hard drive 
to the middle of the cable, leaving the end floating.  The electric wave may 
become reflected in that way. Always connect the ends of the cables. Please 
try to reconnect it if this is the case.
