This is EXACTLY what happened to me last night when I changed out my old Toshiba 3401 CDROM for a Plextor 12X. It appears that the plextor sucks more power than the toshiba (in my case) and when they were on the same power feed from the supply, the HDD would time out. So, try making sure that wd1 is the only device on that internal power plug. As for the meaning of the errors, I ain't got a clue but I would DEFINATLY NOT use that drive until you're sure it's fixed. Mark
