 Sounds like controller problems.  I'd start by replacing the SATA cable.

Windows throws those messages away. And you understand it when the
data got lost.

Do you have any check utility for your harddrive?
Can you try the latest FreeBSD iso installation CD (seems it's a
BETA-3 now)? Not for a production use but at least to test.

I have tried both the 6.1 release and the 6.2 BETA3.   Both get the same

I have not used any hard drive check utilities on the drive but I did
put the hard drive with the same SATA cable attached to it in a computer
with an ICH6 controller and 6.1 installed just fine. 

Then after booting up and making sure everything worked I moved the hard
drive back to the computer with the ICH7 controller and I got the same

Any ideas?

Only one. Open a PR, write all that info. BTW, if FreeBSD live CD can
be executed with verbose dmesg, it may help. I think this PR have a
good chances to be closed since there is a pre-release cycle now and
ich7 controller is widely used. Sorry for not being very helpful. :-(
