I am a little confused on this issue. Are we talkign about a laptop or a PC?
If we are talking about a PC I would first replace the EIDE cable from the HD to the Mother board with a know good one. Second I would place the Hd in a second computer (if you have one) and see if the same error occurs. If it still occurs that narrowed it down to a hard drive. If error still occurs either purchase some advanced utilities (Nutz and boltz or Systematic System works[i think is the name of it])
If this is a laptop download some hardware diagnostic disks from Compaq and see if you recieve any flags. If you live near a good computer shop I would also rocommend they run a test on your hard drive out side the laptop
