I did a search on that error and came up with:
http://dvd.sourceforge.net/xine-howto/en_GB/html/howto-10.html

 Using Linux, I get an error which contains status=0x51 { DriveReady
SeekComplete Error }

To fix this error, try enabling `Use multi-mode by default' in your kernel
(re-compile setting ATA/IDE/MFM/RLL support -> IDE, ATA and ATAPI Block
devices -> Use multi-mode by default to `Y'). The relevant piece of kernel
documentation states:

CONFIG_IDEDISK_MULTI_MODE:

  If you get this error, try to say Y here:

  hda: set_multmode: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error }
  hda: set_multmode: error=0x04 { DriveStatusError }

  If in doubt, say N.

check /boot/config-`uname -r` for CONFIG_IDEDISK_MULTI_MODE

my redhat 7.3 system has this set to Y, but my custom debian systems
have this set to N ..

not sure what the default is.

changing this may help the other problem(s) as well.
