Vivard disk diagnostic tool lists any sector read 
erros, and a count of remapped sectors, if there are any 
remapped.

No it's a standard IDE controller.

Looking in /proc/ide/ide2/hde/settings I find this:

name                    value           min             max 
mode
----                    -----           ---             --- 
----

pio_mode                write-only      0               255 
w

using_dma               1               0               1 
rw

wcache                  1               0               1 
rw


I have tried to turn DMA off for this drive, using the 
libata.dma=0 kernel boot parameter.

But it's still coming up as using_dma 1.

If I can turn DMA off for this drive, that might get rid of 
the DMA error messages.

      hde: dma_intr: error=0x84 { DriveStat ...:  12 Time(s)
      hde: dma_intr: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete

Kind Regards,
