bad contacts ?? card insertion, cable connectors, ...

| 
| I have tried to use a different cable (I was thinking of a cable
| problem) but it hasn't changed anything.
| 
| Any ideas/hints?

PDC202xx is a RAID controller ! So long as I know when working in raid1 
every HD must have his own cable. (I've a asus P4T533-r (raid))
my 2 cents.
