My Maxtor 6Y160MO SATA drive has a 1 for the value for UltraATA CRC error
rate. I replaced the cable for the motherboard connection but that hasn't
changed it.

What could be wrong? The overall rating for the drive is 95%. The start stop
count is higher than average.

Go to the Maxtor web site and download their free diagnostic test
utility. Run that to check out the drive for possible hardware
defects.

Good luck
