	I had this problem with my external drive. Mine seemed to be
temperature sensitive - if the drive got warm (sitting in the sun, for
instance), than I would start getting errors. I took the drive apart,
and the sense arm for the write protect looks like it might warp and
cause the problem. I have taken pains to make sure the drive stays out
of sunlight, and the problem doesn't seem to be re-occuring.
