BadCRC is a cable problem just about always. The hardware uses a CRC
checksum to "protect" the data the disk sends to the IDE chip on the
motherboard (and other way around). BadCRC basically means that
something went wrong in this transmission.
The kernel (and/or chipset) will retry this a few times, but it's worth
checking the cable for damage and checking if all connectors of the
cable fit right.
