backup your user data NOW .... while you still can...
pull the ide cables... replace it and/or reconnect it...
pull the power cable.... reconnect it...
check the cables for "frays" and worn-out insulations etc
sharp bends... twists ...etc..etc...
have fun
alvin
than replace the disk if the problem persists
