Thanks for the replies.

After decreasing to UDMA66, the errors went away (at least from what I 
saw). I didn't let it run all the way through obviously, but when it was 
in UDMA133 mode the errors came on the second I started.

I haven't tried PIO yet since UDMA66 worked. Wesley, I'm not sure what 
info you wanted from the BIOS. It's the primary IDE channel slave (the 
80GB).

What could this mean?
