It occurs that I have seen this before. Indeed many times before!

Many cdroms (especially older ones) can wreak havoc on IDE/ATA channels.
They tend to be slower than hard drives and every so often can spit out 
spurious junk.  I suspect that you have the cdrom on the same cable as the 
hard drive in question. 

If this is so then you will have sporadic errors with a perfectly good hard 
drive.

If the hard drive is on the same cable/channel move it to the secondary IDE.
