Two thoughts come to mind. The first and more palatable one is; has he
checked that it is slotted in snugly. Lots of odd things happened to
a blizzard IV and an escom 1200 that I had which were eventually put
down to the board not being seated tightly.

The other idea which happened to me also before the above problem was
that the board just didn't like the original seagate drive that came
with the machine. This was only solved by fitting another hard drive.
Wierdly the replacement was the same spec seagate type as the one that
didn't work but this one did. Odd!

just a couple of ideas.
