Usually says "4th Master disk Read Error." Clearly this is not a hard-drive issue since this is a brand-new hard-drive. Any of the dozen tech junkies on this site have any clue what it could be?

A program like SpinRite should be able to tell you if the hard drive or hard drive controller is flaking out.

Something else I just thought of, & you didn't mention if it was a SATA or EIDE drive, but have you tried a new data cable? Also, a failing power supply can cause all kinds of weird issues before it dies completely.
