In the mean time how could I decrease the UDMA setting so it operates at a 
lower speed?

It probably will be a few days before I get to stop by the computer store.

Most lines are simply warnings, but there area a few errors. This is just 
a backup drive (ie every X number of hours backup some data from my 
primary drive) so it's not too much of a problem to slow it down 
temporarily.
