After decreasing to UDMA66, the errors went away (at least from what I saw). I didn't let it run all the way through obviously, but when it was in UDMA133 mode the errors came on the second I started. I haven't tried PIO yet since UDMA66 worked. Wesley, I'm not sure what info you wanted from the BIOS. It's the primary IDE channel slave (the 80GB). What could this mean? -Mark
