Sorry, I should have mentioned this in the original post, I have no monitor for my computer, I use it as a server. So I installed the disk in my laptop which is Intel/sis based, and still experienced the problem. I recall also seeing WRITE_DMA failure but I am not sure. I will order a new disk *sigh 5 days* and if I manage to bring life to the old one I will have a spare... Thanks for your advice so far. Cheers, Erik
