What you folks think? Can I fix it somehow? I got a good shovel handy
just in case.

I have RMA'd many drives upon seeing errors like this. I eventually
tracked it down to a faulty SATA cable. :-/
Well, this one does it with two different cables and it is IDE. I have
to admit tho, I was hoping it would work fine after I brought it down
here and put it in my rig where it used to be. I even checked the
jumper to make sure it was set right.
I love grasping at straws tho.
