Difficult to say - I can swap it out and see.

I was getting the same errors when hdb was hda.

Possibly, but I seem to be getting the same errors on hdb as well.

Don't know, sorry.

Master/slave.  I can change this if it might help.

160Gb Maxtors

hda: Maxtor 6L160P0, ATA DISK drive
hdb: Maxtor 6L160P0, ATA DISK drive

Don't know - the motherboard is an Asus, VIA-based (I think) the CPU is
an Athlon 2Ghz - there is no SATA on the board, I believe.
