Hi Chris, I've seen this before with perfectly good disks. When the disk settles on a PIO/UDMA mode, use config(8) to set it for that/those disks. If you still get errors, try them on another motherboard. If they work then, you've got a dying controller and you should trash the board/get a PCI adapter.
