This is a dangerous assumption. If the drive was set up with slightly 
'wrong' (different from the auto detected ones), it could have worked 
fine, but the autodetected ones would then give this problem. Did 
anybody look at the CMOS in the past, who might be able to remember 
the 'old' settings?.

Yes.
