We have had similar problems. I do not _exactly_ know what caused it, but
we solved it eventually:

We tightened the drive too fast, which probably caused the structure of the
	hard disk to be bend. It does *not* like it. Try to loosen the
	screws a bit, or use 3 in stead of 4 screws.

We eventually fixed our hard drive with 2 screws and double-sided adhesive
foam tape. It cured our problem, and the strange construction has been working
for the last 2 years without a problem. Weird eh?

: Any Ideas (or should I bin my SCSI disk?)

Try it. If it does not work: contact me!

Erik.
