looks like maybe the drive and/or controller are flaky or perhaps there is a bad
spot on the drive or something.  You might also check to make sure your IDE
cables aren't exessively long or anything, since sometimes that can produce
strange timing errors.

Anyway, just off the top of my head, that's about where I would start looking :)

Can you provide a little background on the hardware you are using for the machine?
