hard disk problems

[Goran Gajic]

Hi,

I have examined my syslog files and this is what I have found.
Dec 15 20:44:14 osmeh kernel: hdc: QUANTUM FIREBALL SE4.3A, ATA DISK drive
Dec 15 20:44:14 osmeh kernel: hdc: QUANTUM FIREBALL SE4.3A, 4110MB w/80kB
Cache, CHS=14848/9/63, UDMA
Since some peolehave expirienced problems with dma I have decided to turn
off DMA. Before I have expirienced complete ext2fs demolition on /dev/hdc2
thi is what was in log files:

Was this simply problem with ide cable or there is something that is
completely wrong with this hard disk?
