What make of hard drives do you have, if they are both exactly
the same, then that could be a bad batch (not that likely
though).

My harddirve is a segate, not sure of the exact model.

Have you installed linux before and had it running, or using
hdparm to improve performance.

Maybe it could be a changed bios setting....

Other than that I have no idea what those errors actually mean,
appart from trouble...
