That suggests a few possible things: A configuration issue that's different on the other drive. A hard drive hardware error that happens when some part of the drive is accessed, perhaps an area not normally accessed by you but periodically by a system task. Try a smart test on the drive (man smartctl). Power supply issues. Your computer power supply having a problem, that it doesn't work well enough all the time, and your two different hard drives having slightly different power requirements (enough to be a problem). -- (This computer runs FC7, my others run FC4, FC5 & FC6, in case that's important to the thread.)
