hi RSGodfrey,
maybe it´s a problem with your sata driver or the new hdd is broken in some way.
-Do excessive testing with the new drive (not only scandisk)
use a diagnostic tool that boots from floppy (ontrack, IBM dft)
-update drivers for your sata controller.
-take a look at the S.M.A.R.T. status of that hdd (many tools can do this, try everest it has other useful funktions)
-change datacable, the sata connection is crap and not mature
