first off all, you should never mix ata and atapi devices (harddisks and
opticals) on one channel. That is known for making problems.
Your error message could be have two origins: your cable is defective or not
properly seated (easy to check), or your harddisk is on its way to the great
vendor in the sky.
Get a different cable. Connect the drive with this new cable. ONLY connect the
drive, not the burner. Does the error still occurs? Bring back the harddisk,
where you bought it.
