Should I consider these errors as a disk problem or controller problem?
I am backing up and moving all the files off first and then I will
move disk to second computer and run badblocks on it.
These errors have shown up with every boot

I had some errors from another equal disk that was in use in another
computer.
Both disks are old and same age, but either both disks are failing
(reasonable) or this controller is failing
Am am going to trash both disks anyway before long, just really want
to know if this older motherboard should go too.
Okay, I have figured out that it is the disk.
I can get a large SATA disk pretty cheap, but this board doesn't accept
SATA.
Anyone have any thoughts on whether I should just pay more for a smaller
PATA or get the SATA.
If I get the SATA, I will need to buy either a SATA pci card or get a
SATA to IDE adapter.
Are there any problems I should expect with these two choices for SATA?
