You have a Western Digital Drive?
If so, it is pretty normal. So is the eventual data corruption you will get
above UDMA2 (33MHz). WDs simply do not have the hardware to cope with higher
speeds and cannot do the required 57-byte CRCs. And if you don't believe me,
email Andre Hedrick direct.
If it is not a WD, then it is SERIOUS. It means dump the drive or the mobo
or the cable (I'd probably check the cable first by replacing wth one known
to be good).
