I'm still getting these messages even though I have HD spin downs
disabled.  I don't even let the machine sit long enough for it to spin
down. I'm sometimes are forced to reboot.  I am also getting errors like:

wd0: wdunwedge failed (status 58<rdy,seekdone,drq> error 0)
wd0: wdunwedge failed (status 58<rdy,seekdone> error 50<uncorr,no_id>)
wd0s1a: wdstart: timeout waiting for DRQ writing fsbn 65 of 64-79 (wd0s1
bn 65; cn 0 tn 1 sn 2) (status 50<rdy,seekdone> error 4<abort>)

....

Is my harddrive bad?

Thanks,
