What does 'dmesg' say? Any CRC errors? The drive is runnin at
ata/33 (ie, *mode2), but is ata/66 capable. How did you set it up? What
does 'hdparm -v' say? What fs (ie, ext2, rieserFS, ) are you using?
Hardware problems like this are almost impossible to
diagnose/correct 'over the phone'. There's many reasons why you could
have this problem, eg, motherboard, controller, cable, power supply,
heat, bios/jumper config, and on and on.
