This could be down to something simple like a faulty IDE cable. Even worse though, it could be a problem with your IDE port on your mobo. Have you tried using a different IDE cable and seeing if that makes a difference? Also if you're up for it, swap the HDD's over and see if it happens to your other HDD?
well the drive is a SATA (serial ata) drive not IDE and the cable is new and was working fine before. i tried spinrite up to 71% and still no errors
