Scary? O_O;; Oh boy....

I'm hoping it's just a loose cable....but I never often moved and didn't open it before (but it is refurbished...). From the forums, it sounds like it could also be a lot of different things, and I'm not sure how similar any of them are to my problem, so I haven't tried their ideas yet:

After renaming that file and rebooting, I can't find any difference (although I only know to check for that same error).

I saw a difference in only this line: "ata3.00: configured for PIO3"
However, I searched for that in the logs, and it looks like, before renaming, that at different times in the log it has been sometimes PIO0, PIO3, or PIO4.

By the way, as far as I know, it doesn't seem to affect speed or anything (but I can't compare that to anything, since I don't have experience using something similar).

I'll wait before I mess with cables... I hope to do one thing at a time and keep track of it.

Thanks! :)
