[ale] DriveStatusError BadCRC

[James P. Kinney III]

Forgot to mention:

Open the case and move the box in front of an AC vent. Some extra
cooling will help at this point a things error and rerun, it tends to
heat things up which compounds the errors.

Barring an AC vent, open the case as much as possible (remove the front
grille as well) and put a box fan in front of it. Get as much air
flowing through it as possible.

Try to keep it on during all of this. Powering down may be the kiss of
death.
