Please run an SMART test on the drive.. I wouldn't trust that disk anymore and would replace it asap.
A SMART test as done by smartctl runs completely inside the hard disk; it is done by its firmware, and the result is simply written to a log in the disk. It does not test the cabling, which in this case is suspect. Instead, it is possible to run the tests externally, with tools from the disk manufacturer. Seagate has a good one, called seatools. They have a version that boots from CD (or floppy?), which is available for download. It is unable to print or save report, though. Well, it can, but is is not trivial to do. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 13.1 x86_64 "Bottle" at Telcontar)
