Hi All, I noticed this in dmesg the other day hda: drive_cmd: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error } hda: drive_cmd: error=0x04 { DriveStatusError } ide: failed opcode was: 0xb0 and i have started to get corrupted data off of it. I assume it is dying, but thought to ask, as its rather new (*Power On Hours* 827) its a maxtor 160gb.
Have you tried a new cable? I have had errors in one drive when the real problem was a failure in the other drive sharing the same cable, so if there are two drives on the cable, try to run some tests with just one at a time.
