lists I found to check IDE cabel. And there was problem. I just chenaged
IDE cabel  (really damaged ) and now it's ok ( no disc change )

Thanks

Your drive has died.

Once you have replaced the drive:

1. Ensure that the drives are being cooled. Modern (i.e. large) hard
drives tend to run quite hot. In the absence of sufficient airflow, they
can easily exceed their maximum operating temperature (typically 55C).
This is more of an issue with larger drives, and with multiple drives in
adjacent drive bays. In my experience, Maxtor drives tend to run hotter
than similar drives from other vendors.

2. Run a temperature-monitoring utility such as hddtemp, and ensure that
it will notify support staff if the temperature gets too high. If the
location isn't staffed 24/7, ensure that it will shut down the system in
the event that the temperature exceeds the drives' operating limit.

[I know of a case where a cooling fan in a file server failed overnight,
and the staff turned up the following morning to find that all 4 drives
had failed after reaching temperatures of up to 63C.]
