We have some Western Digital hard drives that our Compaq towers report 'bad
controller' errors.  I've successfully placed the HDs into generic PCs, so I
tend to think that it's the PC that the problem.

HD: Western Digital Caviar 21200 / 1281.9MB
CPU: Compaq DeskPro 2000 5133 / BIOS 05/01/98 latest update

Any ideas?
Thanks
John
