I've got the same issue.
My HDD is ST3320833AS.
When I used this HDD in my old computer, it ran Ubuntu 7.10 perfecty.
Now, i inserted it into my new PC (new motherboard, CPU, GPU, everything except
for DVD and HDD) and after installing Ubuntu 7.10 on a new ext3 partition and
rebooting I get very similar message (except for the 'status ; {DRDY}')
After that, I tried Ubuntu 8.04. I ran the CD and have chosen straight
installataion. After about 2 minutes of the orange bar going left and right, i
got the same message. Identical. It repeats - the same error appears after the
previous one after about 6-7 seconds.
A friend of mine told me that updating the BIOS might help. It didn't.
Neither with 7.10, nor 8.04.
The strange thing is that I am able to log in into Ubuntu 7.10 in
recovery or normal mode once in about 5 tries. After reboot, mostly I
still get the same error.
