Hi.
    This may not be what's happening, but it's what I saw with a 1.6G
Seagate. My drive had a heat problem. on the front-left corner of the
controller board are a pair of ICs that would get extraordinarily hot. If
they got too hot I'd see the occasional Unit Attention similar to what
you're seeing. Eventually the drive packed it in, and it won't even spin up
now.

    You might want to check whether the drive is overheating, and if so try
to arrange better cooling for it.

    Hopefully you're not having the same trouble I was, because my drive is
now a piece of junk. :-(

        Cheers,
        Bruce.
