If you know the drive is good (e.g. by testing it in another machine),=20 the first thing you should replace is the power supply.

So, you're saying that if a drive starts giving invalid or=20 noninterpretable communications back to the IDE controller, causing the=20 controller to wedge, which possibly brings down the PCI bus on which=20 it's connecte, tied to the front side bus and the CPU, the OS should=20 just continue?
