I will open the box and make sure everything is tight.
It could be a loose cable since I moved about 6 weeks ago and
didn't do any post-move maintenance on my computer. So,
maybe a cable did come loose.
If it's not that, then I have a spare drive that's somewhat
smaller, but probably adequate. Looks like I likely get to
reinstall.
Thanks....

That is a SCSI-level error which should be independent of your disk
contents (MBR or otherwise). For some reason a SCSI command that Linux
sent out never came back. This could be due to:
1) Loose cable
2) Unpowered or intermittently powered device
3) Poor termination
4) Dead disk
5) Driver bug
6) Some really obscure problem
I would avoid the rescue disk until the SCSI errors are solved. Trying to
"rescue" a disk and having the process fail in the middle might just cause
more problems.
Unless it's an obvious problem (i.e. loose cable), I would quickly invest
in a replacement disk and get all the data on this disk mirrored someplace
else.
