Sorry, I should have mentioned this in the original post, I have
no monitor for my computer, I use it as a server. So I installed
the disk in my laptop which is Intel/sis based, and still
experienced the problem.

I recall also seeing WRITE_DMA failure but I am not sure.

I will order a new disk *sigh 5 days* and if I manage to bring
life to the old one I will have a spare...

Thanks for your advice so far.

Cheers, Erik
