[NTLUG:Discuss] Disk Errors

[Bug Hunter]

 If I understand it right, DRQ is Dma ReQuest.  It looks like the hard
drive is either having trouble writing to a bad spot, or the electronics
is starting to go south.  Possibly due to heat.

  Take the case cover off of the box and see if that improves the
situation. If it does, check your power supply fan and your cpu fan.
