As the submitter of 9859, let me comment:

I've tried different disks on that machine, and it works.
I've tried that disk on a different shark, and it wedges.

I've also seen reports that it happens on some disk + some laptop
combinations, so I think it is something timing related that might or
might not be the wdc drivers fault. See Manuels report in there.

Richard: you could try to change the disk.
