Some HPT cards have problems with certain drives. I believe its a fixed
problem in newer boards or on those with updatable firmware if you update
the firmware itself

Check your drive is in the bad_ata100_5 and bad_ata66_4 list. If not add
it then rebuild and retry (drivers/ide/hpt366.c) - and let me know
