What exactly are you trying to read? There are some types of media that you have trouble with.
then there is the possibility of a cable problem, possible corrosion on the contacts, and some problem getting the info thru the IDE channel.
General diagnostics are replace parts through the chain or swap over to the other channel until you can see a difference. That is the ususal pointer to the problem.
