take off the cdrom .. and i bet your problems will disappear
and new disk does not imply it's a gooouuudd drive..
you should format with badblock check to confirm that there
is no bad blocks on the disk
- just do the badblock checks on say the first 4GB or
however big your deb install is vs doing the whole 300GB of it

- swap out the memory stick with a different vendor
and see if the other memory stick reflects the same errors

could be marginal power supply too as the disk is still trying
to power up from a cold boot ??
does it happen when you "properly" hit the reset switch when
the disk is not yet mounted
