Dear Mr. Stevens:<BR>
<BR>
Thanks for your reply.<BR>
<BR>
I installed two WD 1TB Hard Drives when I put my new computer together.<BR>
I am having difficulty getting Fedora to recognize and access both of them.<BR>
(See emails "Two HDs"). Both of these HDs are new.<BR>
<BR>
I removed the second HD and those errors no longer occur on boot-up. This<BR>
tells me that the second HD is the cause of the errors.<BR>
<BR>
Thanks for your help.<BR>
<BR>
Sincerely,<BR>

That looks like a drive that's dying. Could be a CD or DVD drive that's
having issues.
To find out what device it is, try:
# cat /proc/scsi/scsi
Look for the stuff under "Host: scsi4 Channel: 00 Id: 00 Lun: 00". That
should be the device.
