Could be the board if both drives appear busted.  
It could be the o/s.  My 5.2.1 system has been getting similar errors 
and halting.

See if maxtor has a drive checking utility.  Some manufacturers like 
seagate have a utility you burn on cd and boot off it.  It allows you 
to check the drives on the system independantly of the host os.
It may not be a final solution but is a step in the direction of 
diagnosing the fault.  

If the info on the drives was not backed up it obviously was not 
important .
