Hi All

Can somebody please assist me or give me his/her opinion regarding the
messages below.

We are faced with a decision either to replace the IDE cables, or
to replace the hard drives. Does these messages
below indicate that the IDE cables are faulty, or is this a drive related
problem.

System 1:
