Cross-posted to 2 groups.

Hello groups,

thanks all who posted and helped.

Finally i thought the problem could be the cable - there is a little SATA cable 
inside that connects the M/B with the HD -  and IT WAS.

I found a spare cable on ebay - installed it and now the NB works well.
No more errors.

Have a nice day!
