Trouble with hard drive

Hi,

sometimes I get this error (actually it happened two or three times in the last weeks, maybe it's related to 2.6.35.x) on a Thinkpad T500 with http://www.notebooksbilliger.de/western … wd5000bekt

libata version 3.00 loaded.

After some time it's booting and it doesn't happen every time. If you need additional info, I would be happy to provide it..

Thank you.

Re: Trouble with hard drive

Looks to me like a hardware fault with your hard drive. Burn a copy of the Ultimate Boot CD (ultimatebootcd.com), boot that CDROM and use the Western Digital hard drive diagnostic software on it to test your hard drive.

Ok, made a quick test with http://support.wdc.com/product/download … =2&lang=en which didn't find any errors.
