This can also be because of IDE drives running out of spec, ie. having an
overclocked PCI bus, a buggy drive or a buggy controller. One of my drive=
s
exhibited typical "bad sector" behaviour, when in fact the drive couldn't
run on it's rated UDMA33 speed and had to be manually tuned for MW-DMA2.
(Now I run with Andre's IDE patch which automatically tunes "down" the dr=
ive
because it is in som "quirk" list or something).
