Sorry Dave

Disc error 26 is a cable fault
error 23 is more likely related to a psu that is going beyond its best, or a possible dying hdd. 

check the psu (see other posts on this) before considering a possible panic.

Two things happened today:



(1) I ordered a second hard disc for the Iyonix.



2) When the machine was switched on, a 'disc error 23' flashed briefly
on the screen, there was an error message that there was no disc
present and a minimal desktop appeared after this was acknowledged.
Disc error 23 is a cable fault, which means the system couldn't find the disc rather than the disc being faulty. I would suggest this could be a power supply issue.

I ran DiscKnight - the disc was good.
Incidentally DiscKnight isn't the tool for disc errors, you need to Verify.
