(Perhaps because it's a legacy OS) By setting it to IDE controller mode, the diagnostics ran & completed successfully on both the drives, thus I believe the drives, cables, power connectors etc. are working fine as expected. The above dmesg is after setting the SATA controller back to AHCI mode in the BIOS. (I'm using the yahoo web interface to post these emails. If it makes it hard to read, on your request, I'm happy to provide the kernel logs as email attachments). Thank you.
